Rolla Boy Posted August 2, 2005 Report Posted August 2, 2005 Sorry about the short notice. We have organised a charity cruise to help us cover some of the medical bills of a very good friend of mine, he's 24 years old, and has burst his aorta, undergone two lots of open heart surgery in an attempt to fix it and stop the bleeding (which has only slowed it down), has a collapsed lung, and requires constant xrays, ct scans, specialists, blood transfusions and has even had a stroke causing him to go blind. He's still in Intensive Care and things are going wrong constantly, today is the beginning of the second month of all of this, and his bills are starting to come in... Date: Sunday 14th August 2005 Time: Meet 8am Depart @ 9am Meeting Place: Homebush Bay - P6 Halfway Rest Point: The Twin Caltexs - F3 Freeway Destination: Caves Beach Reserve This cruise is in support of Ben Young. Ben has had an unfortunate incident which has left him in a critical condition in Westmead Hospital. He has undergone open heart surgery at a tender age of 24, to much dismay of his family & friends he is not recovering as well as we all hoped for. This has also put an enormous financial strain on Ben & his family. In support of this car-loving, easy going much loved guy we have organised this day in full support of him & his family with all donations greatly appreciated to help with the financial situation & as a great surprise to Ben's parents to show just how much people like us all, really care. To give you an idea, Ben's operations are worth thousands, but each and every cent counts. Your support is hugely appreciated & will never be forgotten. Professional magazine photographers will be there on the day, so you & your car may even get your photo in a magazine. Tell all your friends. Quote
