We all have different reasons for getting into cars and 914s in particular. My passion for Porsches comes from my dad. From a very young age, I remember riding in between my parents in dad's 914-6 as we adventured around the midwest, and in later years attending vintage races at Road America every summer as a family. Unfortunately, dad battled both Leukemia and Lymphoma and passed away at just 46 years old. My enduring passion for cars is because of dad, and every time I hop in my 914 I think of him.

In honor of dad I'm running for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's (LLC) Visionary of the Year, a 10-week campaign focused on raising funds and awareness for blood cancer. I've set an ambitious goal of raising $150k, and now just shy of 2 weeks in I'm bout 15% of the way there. I have a variety of fundraising tactics I'm employing to reach my goal, and naturally one avenue is reaching out to my various networks for support. If you or someone you love has been impacted by blood cancer such as Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease, or Myeloma, would you consider making a donation to the campaign?

You can learn more about my campaign and make a tax deductible donation at www.TeamTaccio.com. If you've read this far, thank you!

Side note, I have a fair amount of 914 parts in the garage that I'll be listing in the classifieds forgoing payment in lieu of a donatoin to my campaign of the buyer's choosing.

We moved across the big lake to Superior. Next time you are up this way come see our new house. Your fund raiser is a great cause with a very special meaning. Just keep bumping this thread. There are a lot of caring and generous souls on this forum. Not everyone sees the thread. I just read through a great build that was started in 2020 that I had never seen.
