And the winner is...... MACC Fund drawing for all that donated.

Many of you know I am a cancer survivor of over six years now. During my battle I met some amazing people, and a good portion were children. These little ones have no clue how sick they are. They just want to beat me again on the X-Box.

My daughter is raising money through her Tae Kwon Do team. They are cracking boards to raise cash for the children and their families. The goal is $50,000. We are on our way but could use any help you can provide. Your donation is a lump sum donation, not per board broken. And if any of you are in the Milwaukee area they will be bustin' boards on Feb 20th from 10 AM to 5 PM.

Please follow this link to donate.

Thank you everyone.

2-17-2010 - Amazing, simply amazing is all I can say. With the help of the CU Board, friends and family my daughter somehow smoked her $500 goal and is over $1,000 and is in 2nd place in fund raising.

She told me yesterday "I want first place Daddy so no one has to be bald like you, you were ugly then." I could even respond I was laughing so hard.

We are only a couple of hundred dollars short of 1st place. Please help out with what ever you can afford.

So far the CU board is responsible for a hair over 25% of the donations. Thank you again and if you can help out please do.


2-19-2010- Added the pics below. We ended up raising $1546. Amazing! 2nd place for fund raising.

    Thanks for the donation Robert. Catch this, a close friend of mine just said he would match all of the donation dollar for dollar up to a grand. So, if anyone donates one dollar it turns into two.

    Thanks again Robert.

    Troy,

    I had no idea you were a cancer survivor.. congrats on winning your battle. I can't believe that little girl pictured is going to be placing a world of hurt on some 2x4s, but I just placed a bet for her to win.

    Going to share some photos of the wooden carnage from the event?

    Absolutely on the pics. She won't be doing 2x4's. Way too big for her though.

    Thanks again!!!

    Glad to hear your daughter will be able to handle herself throughout her life. We need to see some video of her bustin boards!! Been alot of years since my days in the studio. two guys that gave me the drive for life were:

    Shi-han Sensei Louis Casamassa.
    During the 60’s he traveled extensively throughout the Orient fighting and studying many different styles of martial arts. He took the best 7 major martial arts forms and combined them into one style which is known as the Red Dragon style of martial arts.

    And

    Shihan Tom Cosgrove
    Trainer of Amateur World Champion and Pro kickboxer Joe Davidson. Instructor of W.K.O.s World Karate Organization Champion Joe Class. In 87' won Impax challenge with "the most powerful punch in martial arts"
