Win a TL

[tstruyk]

or at least donate to a good cause... this is from a local st louis message board I frequent...

Some of you may or may not know Adam Range, 19 years of age from Jerseyville, IL. Adam is the stepson of Vernon Lux, an employee of Ted's Motorcycle World in Alton. Adam just graduated from Jerseyville Community High School this spring and was active in the JCHS soccer and hockey teams, as well as being an avid motorcyclist, a hobby that he shared with his step-dad. Adam is a very personable guy who never meets a stranger and loves spending time with friends and family.
 
On June 21st. while swimming at a friend's home, Adam dove into the water hitting his head and crushing his fifth vertebrae. Adam now cannot move from the chest down and has limitations of his hands. He has been making some progress, though Physical Therapy, but has a long, long road to recovery and some sense of normalcy. We are conducting a raffle to help raise money for Adam's special needs and the tremendous cost of his rehabilitation.

Raffle Item: 1998 Suzuki TL1000 motorcycle

ALL CHECKS SHOULD BE MADE OUT TO:
Adam Range Special Needs Trust..................Not Vernon Lux

Cash is also acceptable, but I do not have a way to do credit card purchases. Paypal collects a fee of approx. 4%, so I would really prefer NOT to do that method.

If a "lottery" type giveaway is illegal in your state please try to keep these guys out of trouble!!   I am not sure if this is a problem but wouldnt want to taint what they are trying to accomplish here!

thanks for looking all!!

Thank you to all of you that have sent money and requested a ticket or tickets.  The raffle is going fairly well, but I still have approx. 125 tickets left of the 400 that was printed.  
Adam is slowing improving, but the Drs have now said that it is not likely that he will walk again.  This is not the news that I wanted to hear.  He is a very strong willed young man and I'm sure that if it is physically possible, he WILL walk again.  Thanks in advance and please pray for his recovery.
