My sister has breast cancer....I've got absolutely nothing I can donate that is more modern than 2009. I wish there was some way I could help too.

Feel left out,

Send @Norton a PM. I'm sure there is some means you can help if you want.

If you can't that's ok, your support here is invaluable!

I hope your sister beats this disease!!

I wish your sister well, LC. Hopefully she will recover.

My wife is a five-time cancer survivor, so it can be defeated.
All the best to your sister LC. Darlene says to tell her to never give up.

Actually Neil(Neil is my middle name), my sister is an inspiration to me, she has more courage and strength than 10 men. I've been struggling for a few years myself...but she helps to keep me going.

It's really hard to put into words...

.

Thank you for the well wishes though...

.

I don't know how many of you would remember "Hansbroken" from the AMDMB days? He ended up being a good friend...he also beat Hodgkins Lymphoma, but he passed away about 4 years ago. One helluva guy...I miss him terribly. You can still look up his name on heatware...he traded with quite a few of you. Hansbroken...Ken, was another inspiration in my life.

It's threads like this that make me happy t_ski twisted my arm to come over here and check this site out.

Glad I'm here,

Sorry @Liquid Cool to hear of your troubles and your loss and all the best wishes to you and your family!

Yet it's stories like yours that can be encouraging to others like us, to see that there is much we can all do; those that struggle need encouragement, and when they continue to fight, it builds us up in turn; it's very important to be there to support our loved ones!

Stay strong bud!!

Holy hell, that's a strong woman there! I thought my aunt was strong for having beat it three times, but five? I can't even imagine.

@Liquid Cool , I'm sure your sister will pull through if she has a brother like you.
You and yours will be in my thoughts. Please, as long as you feel ok doing so, keep us updated. We'll all be here.

Norton · Dec 2, 2015

My heart goes out to all of you who have had deep personal tragedy with these terrible diseases

We need to keep fighting that's all there is to it and hopefully one day we'll be able to beat some of these- my personal experience over the last few years has been dealing with Alzheimer's - lost my father in-law to it a few years ago and my grandmother has the later stages of it now.

Now, on a more positive note.....

Build Update!

I'm going to donate an ~~MSI 7850 Twin Frozr (2GB)~~see edit* gpu to the build and we'll be adding a pair of Radeon 6950's (modded to 6970's) to the prize pool courtesy of @Random Murderer
* build post/prize pool will be updated shortly

F**k Cancer!

*EDIT- build rig will be upgraded to an R9 280X thanks to a donation by @RealNeil !!

thebluebumblebee · Dec 2, 2015

I recently passed @stanhemi in WCG points. The last we heard from him, (2010) he was dealing with Thyroid cancer and not doing very well. I sad. One of Stanley's last posts was responded to by, you guessed it, @Kreij.

jboydgolfer · Dec 2, 2015

On the up side of this terrible sickness, It does drive us to do good, in many forms , one of which is this thread. Sadly, it's likely all, or Most people you meet in life will have been touched in some way by C. I've tried My best to take these experiences, and push myself to give/Do more, as well as pushing myself to excel.Try and remember to... if at all possible.. keep it from beating You down. You(anyone in this position) have My support for what it's worth.

best Regard's

Um my friend died of lung cancer , his name was Mario Prestiani . I only came across this thread now. So the only thing I can donate is Original Games. I have Civ 5 or Metro if this helps .
The Components that have been donated are already more than I have . I have some older games that are original like Aliens Colonial Marines . All the best to Cancer sufferers and hope their is a cure soon.

It depends on how you have the key. If it's a non-steam key, or if you have the unused key code for Steam game you can send the code through PM by clicking on someone's screen name. In the box that pops up you will see "Start a Conversation". Click that ans put the key in there dialogue bix.

Or if you have say, a Steam key saved in inventory in your Steam Library, you can just pledge it and then send direct to winner through Steam when the PC is won.
