Thread at pbn.

Fom the invert forum.

Thank you.

Hopefully the raffle is going to take place at the AO event in Orlando, Florida that GraveDiggersUnion is setting up for sometime around September. I will know more after this weekend. Until then we are going to set up a thread in the BST forum with items whos proceeds will go directly to the paypal account Allison has set up. Im still working out the details so if you have any items laying around that you would like to contribute please PM me. This is seperate from the raffle which will be all BNIB items. Racegun (Denmark) has committed to some items as well. This isnt just an AO thing but I think we have the most to give :)

[BigEvil]

So far the total I have managed to collect from all of you fine AOers(Between cash and plledges) is about $400.

Great job guys.

Hi everyone this is Allison (Jim's wife)!! I have only had the pleasure of meeting/speaking to a few of you however I wanted to let you all know that we are very thankful for all your kind thoughts and prayers. Jim has had a very hard couple of weeks but we are hopeful that over the next few days we will start to see some vast improvement. As I am sure WarWitch has told most of you I have set up a website where I can journal Jim's progress for everyone to read. You can also leave him some words of encouragement on there if you want; I can tell you that he does read them every day and when he can't get up to read them I tell him about them. It always makes him feel better to know that he has so many people out there that care about him and his wellbeing. The website address is as follows: http://www.caringbridge.com/visit/jimwalton
Jim and I send our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for all that you are doing and pray that God will bless you in many ways.

Sincerly,
Allison Walton

That woman is a saint. And on that note, lets all remember that this takes a huge toll on his whole family so keep them all in your prayers!

Also, She has set up a benifit account specificly for the proceeds generated from p'baller donations and BST threads. Check post #1 for the new account address.

Donate !

If you are in Florida I would encourage you to donate blood or platelets.
Email Jims wife so she can call Florida blood services and have your name added to the list, a day or so before you donate.
If your blood type matches Jims, he will get the blood (or platelets).
If it doesnt, it wont go to waste.

I only found out about his situation Tuesday evening and have been trying to get in to see him
all week.
Finally today he felt well enough for visitors and I went in an visited for about half hour.
He seemed in good spirits. But I guess I stayed a bit too long because he started getting
real tired so I left.
But he looked good and seemed to be his boisterious self.
So keep up the prayers !

I'm on the other side of the country and I don't know what blood type I am, but can I donate?

[going_home]

Good Question

I'm on the other side of the country and I don't know what blood type I am, but can I donate?

I dont know the answer to that but email Jims wife and she will find out and get back with you.
Its the weekend and all so it may take her a couple days.
I didnt know my blood type either but if he can use it thats good, if not, someone in need will get it.

[email protected] is her email .

Hope the guy pulls through, don't know who he is but he seems to be a person in need.

[Warwitch]

Thanks for keeping this thread alive guys. There has been a lot of verbal warfare on AO lately and its nice to see we can all still check our ego's when it really matters.

[Warwitch]

From Jim's wife Allison;

Scott,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support. You and everyone else will never know how much all this means to me and the happiness I feel to know that Jim has friends out there like you. Our deepest gratitude goes out to you and all the others in the paintball community.

Sincerlly,
Allison Walton

P.S. I am sure that Jim would be upset if he knew I was telling you this but he was actually talking about you in one of his medicated slumbers the other day. I was not sure what he was mumbling until I ask him what he was talking about and he said...."You know.. BigEvil" and I just said "ok honey" and he was back out again. LOL So now I know who he dreams about when he is sleeping..... Thanks again!!!!!

[Warwitch]

From Jim's wife Allison;
