I'll work on an updated pic for yuse guys...

My disease dont affect my sense of humor lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I believe ALS is the same thing Stephen Hawking has. Maybe we could just use his picture (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Korijo, hang on to that sense of humor. It's more valuable than anything else we can give you. Besides, you're going to need it when you see that the chair we get you is really just a rusty shopping cart with a leaky Exide battery and two 914 starters driving the back wheels.

Jon, You're right on both counts. Steven Hawking has ALS and has been beating the odds his whole adult life.
A sence of humor does wonders for one with medical problems. Korijo continues to show us that.
Here's a link to some things Steven says about himself.

I just paypaled the account! Absolutely happy to help anyway I can. I had a lady that wanted me to sell her van with a wheelchair lift on it. Let me know if that is still a need & I'll look into it a little further. I didn't have the time to deal with it then. I'm sure she still has it! Proud to be a member of all the 914 groups out there. I've always loved the comrodery & help I've recieved since I bought mine! Hope to see you soon Koirijo -Jamie (pizza dude)

Jamie,
Yes the van is still needed. I may need to trade our mv in for the proper style van, tho. It will need to have a bumped up roof AND lowered floor, so my face isn't smushed into the roof.

I need to clear up some minor details...

First, I have been fitted for a chair already. It should be finished soon. A donor chair might not serve all my needs (a place for a breathing machine, for one thing). I do appreciate the offers...

Second, there is still a chance the maker of the chair will donate the chair. More likely they wont cover the entire cost. Medicare covers some. How much? Dont know. I dont expect more than 20%.

If the chair is fully paid for, then the donations will help with the mv. Everyone clear on the details?

My family and I are so greatful. We cannot believe this. The initial post was for an idea, and has since blown up to an unbelieable, unimaginable scenerio. How much can I say? Thanks to all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I know your camera works Dave, so post a "family" shot so the newbies and people unfamilar with you can see you and the family. Hmmm, on second thought, how about just the wife and kids as they are soo cute, we know what you look like: the smiley face!

When I first learned of Dave's need for assistance funding the purchase of a wheel chair I proposed offering some of my 914 license plates as incentives for donations. I am delighted to see that I underestimated the generosity of the teener friends on this web site and that bribery is not needed. Apparently an open heart and open wallet over ride greed and selfishness around here. I am proud to be associated with such a fine group.

Well guys and gals,
When I posted the ebay auction (page 2 of this thread) I had expected a little more money than my normal going rate, but I never expected it to take off like it had. As of a few minutes ago the auction is at $76 with 9 days 2+ hours to go. That's noce to see but...

Here is the surprising part. I got an email from someone outside the Porsche world who wrote this...
4/7 5pm est
"I was just thumbing through some stuff on eBay and saw your auction...and went to the link to your club. I wouldn't mind sending a small donation for your friend with ALS and telling others about it as well...BUT I seem to be blinded as to what the e-mail address should be when sending payment through PayPal. Could you please send me the e-mail addy?
Thanks,
Anita"
4/8 3:03am est
"Not trying to be a pest....but the top yellow PayPal logo doesn't link to PayPal. The one on the bottom of the page does though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am sending your link out to many.....hope you "hear" from them!
Anita"

To all the kind hearted people in this world... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Can't believe you 914 guys are going to let us 911 guys outbid you on the charity auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...=ADME:B:LC:US:1 (I'm kvalent and the next highest bidder also owns a 911, "oldskate") If I win I am going to have a painting of my Carrera put on the shirt and send it to Korijo to wear every time he goes to a 914 event!

Current bid US $111.64

Kurt,
Since you post as much on 914 boards as you do 911 boards, when will you sell that tail dragger of yours and buy the better handling car (a 914!)?

Over $100 for a shirt!?! I will be very nervous painting that one. I had better brush up on my skills. (Pun intended)

You are probably very nervous now. Oldskate just outbid me! The bid is now at $152.00. I hate to lose so I doubt it will stay at $152.00 for long!

Hey Kurt,

You 911 guys are more "Wine & Cheese" type people than us teeners, you guys may have scared a lot of us off?
Maybe if we pool our money all us 914 guys could outbid one of you 911 guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Just kidding, let's go guys, keep up the bidding!
