[color=cyan]I'm not sure what to say here, really. Some obvious things come to mind - I never would have guessed we'd surpass 100,000 donated with 9 days to go.



I have never been more proud to be a part of a gaming group, of any type. You guys came out, and you donated. And not just a few of you, over 10,000 of you. I am humbled, shocked, happy, and also sad, that we lost such a little MechWarrior, our little Sarah. From her loss, though, we have given back. She is our catalyst for positive change and hope for the future. Maybe this WILL do it, maybe this money will buy the machine that causes the final piece of the puzzle to be found. Maybe the left over change from that machine buys a scientist the coffee she drinks every morning that causes her 'eureka!' moment that finds the cure.



I have no way of knowing, but I do know that you guys came through to make that chance possible. You said 'no, I'm not going to sit here, I am going to do this tiny thing that will snowball into something huge.' And it has.



You guys are making national news. International news. Tech blogs, newspapers, forums, everywhere. People saw what this community did, and they see caring, love, and hope. They see positive action.



Sarah is our beacon, and curing that awful disease is our goal, and you all - all of you, even if you couldn't afford it and promised to donate later to cancer research - have put us over 100,000 dollars closer to that goal.



I am proud, humbled, and overwhelmed by the support of each and every one of you.



It is a pleasure and honour to be counted among your numbers.



Cheers,
