Legend Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hello guys, Yes this is the one and the same Mike on a Bike was talking about. Lets continue the discussion from here. Mike and I have decided to raise some funds for our fellow member Hambone. We are in regular communication with Hambone (Eric) for the past few months. Eric had the misfortune of contracting a disease of the liver, which is incurable, and his health has debilitated enough to impede any realistic employment opportunities. Eric's dad has also recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer. So it is a case of the ill trying to give care to the ill. I can imagine that it would be a very onerous, difficult and painful time for Eric. As such, I am going to organize a raffle for our fellow member Eric, with the guidance and support of Mike (on a Bike) I am reaching out to the charity, kindness and benevolence in each one of you, to support me in this event. While we walk around with nice and impressive timepieces on our wrists, let us not forget our less fortunate brethen. We are not a charity, but we are charitable folks with big hearts. Buy a ticket at the upcoming raffle, help a fellow member out, and stand a chance to win some nice watches. For members who are contributing watches for sale, or wish to contribute watches please send me a PM with the details. I will be donating $5 for every raffle ticket purchased, to Hambone. Lets not make this about pity, my fellow RWGians, but about kindness and compassion. A little from you, would go a long way for our fellow member in need. Thank you very much in advance, and stay tuned please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamer Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 In my country there's a strong belief that you should always give help wherever it is needed, any kind of help, monetary or not because you never know when you'll need some good luck yourself. So I look forward to helping out. Hope you get better, Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thank you kindly guys. I am still getting the watches sorted out.. but your responses have been heartwarming to say the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Alvin, and RWG members, again I'm at a loss for words,(highly unusual as everyone knows), however, I find it almost incomprehensible, that the gallant souls, whom I only know through the written word extend the care and concern, that even my relatives don't exhibit. I wish that you all have much prosperity and good health. Thank you so very kindly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about friendship, knowledge, and making life better for one another in various ways. I will do what I can, within my means, to help you and others in need.. Alone, we may accomplish little, but together, we can do a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 How could I say no to a man who marches up and down the square,sniffing lines of cocaine from the breast of buxom brunettes? A man after my own heart that hambone. Best wishes and prayers Eric. Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week, next month, next year, heck, tomorrow, it could be one of us who has some reversal, health, economic, family, we just don't know. So please support this good cause.
