OT: The Best tweet of the week and now one of my all-time favorites. When you get a tweet like this it moves you more than any stock price of a stock I am in. Dr. Ben Davies sent this tweet out regarding his brother-in-law Ryan Biddle and the state of his health. This board helped an individual with a very serious brain tumor (glioblastoma) who had very limited financial means and a family to take care of. He is not out of the woods yet but the news just received is a step in the right direction. A lot of people might have written him off but we didn't! With the help of many people on this thread, I want to send my sincere thank you to all of you as we reached this 20K goal in two weeks. This is what giving back is all about and I received hundreds of messages from people who gave whatever amount that they could to help Ryan Biddle. Many $5, $10, $20, & larger donations added up quickly. You guys challenged all my matching talk & I gave $3,000 out of my own pocket because I could & if this was me I would want people to do what they could to support my family. Appreciate all of my 3,765 SheffStation readers on this thread! Makes my contributions to the board every day feel that much sweeter knowing all of you were behind something so important. Kudos to Adam Feuerstein & the biotech community on twitter as well. Lots of people helped out there & it is always great to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Have a great rest of the week everyone!
Message to SheffStation on 7/19/13 for a plea to get to 20K: (We did it & got to $20K)
OT:..Ryan Biddle's cancer Trx fund is $16.5K. Great. If u haven't yet donated, please consider. Let's push for 20K today! Every dollar helps whether it is $5, $10, $20, $50, or $100. http://www.gofundme.com/BucsForBidz
When you donate..under the comment section you can put #$heff so they know whether it is from a SheffStation reader or not. You could also instead PM me so I can keep a tally from our board. You can donate anonymously if you want as well so no one has to know just please donate what you can.
I have been challenged by Dr. Ben Davies who is the brother-in-law of Ryan Biddle. He has already stated that he will wear a Baltimore Raven jersey to a Pittsburgh Steeler game. This is from a Steeler die hard fan that lives in Pittsburgh. Now he has stated that if we hit 20K that he will run naked at a tailgate party in Pittsburgh. That would be a Sportcenter play of the day for sure.
This is my last call for donations to this site. I really want to hit the $20,000 goal here. We have made a huge difference here and everyone knows that. If we can get to $20K today, I am committing to at least 10 Audio DD reviews in from now till end of the year of stocks that we are currently in or that have significant catalysts upcoming. I know I have been asked here to do more regarding that and I will make that commitment and put on this board as well as my e-mail list. Let's make it happen today folks and I truly appreciate what everyone has already done here.
Challenge..the mark is $16,500 right now at 7:50am PST. Let's try to get as close to $20K or break it by the end of the trading day today. If we are over $19K then I will make another donation to help put us over. Please help to help this man. Thanks again!!
