Poster Sale for McConkey

[Trackhead]

Adam,

I just bought a poster, but I already have one. Please just send my money where it's needed.

Thanks.

Thanks Griz, this is an amazing idea. Very generous of you

Just wanted to repeat this since it was the last thing on page two and probably wouldn't get noticed...

Adam and everyone, your efforts and generosity will take on a whole other significance when you hear this: Shane had no life insurance, because with his profession he simply couldn't get it. So this isn't merely a means of starting a college fund for his daughter, raising money is a means of helping his family survive.

Well then, time to spread the word to friends outside the skiing community as well. SAC up and raise some money for a great cause.

Adam, any chance of changing the wording on your website poster page to reflect the new fundraising cause? It still mentions Cottonwood Canyons Foundation. I'm spamming my friends and family email list with "I don't usually this but this is a good cause" emails and including a link to your page.

50 posters sold. $1,250.00 raised in about 12 hours. The kindness and generosity of our small skiing community continues to astound. Trying to keep up with the emails/orders...

Trainwreck--I could get the wording changed, but it won't be for a bit as my web guy won't be available until tomorrow. It's probably best just to link them to my blog at http://minyurl.com/293. It explains everything in full, and will then direct them to the poster page.

Thanks again to everyone for their kindness and willingness to give. It truly is amazing.

man I was afraid of hearing that... Shane's sponsors and the ski industry in general owe a big debt of gratitude to someone who was more than just another athelete. Shane helped dig the ski industry out of the rut and I really hope K2, MSP, Sessions and especially Red Bull do the right thing by taking care of Shane's family.

If everyone who posted something on that other thread made a donation, we would be able to hand a pretty big check over so get on it folks.

Cool Adam, that link is much better. It really explains things, forwarding it.
