Default Help a long time member of HT

As many of you know John Gadd aka Vapor Trail's father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Ive known john for several years and he has been helping people on HT since day one and even before the HT days. With the help of mase we have set up a fund for his father to help pay for therapy. You dont have to do this but I encourage everyone to help out if they can. Even if its only $1 every bit counts.

Also, please take a look at his killer car that is for sale to also help his father out here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=687220

If you would like to help out this great person and friend we ask that all paypal be sent to vaportrailfund@yahoo.com or IM mase for a checking account. All donations will be going ALL to john Gadd's father.

With love and respect to John and his family..

As done in the past, it was very successful, so I'm going to do it again the same way, I have setup a Paypal account as Art said, or I will also take money orders/personal checks sent to me personally. All monies collected will either be sent directly to John, or I will be traveling down there to personally deliver it.

If anyone has any further questions or comments, or needs my mailing address, please dont hesitate to Email me or PM me.

This will be good for John's family....we discussed it and figure this is a small gesture of our friendship and small way to help out a fellow brothers..

John,

You don't need to say anything, you've done enough to this small community of ours and being a friend to all of us is more than we can thank for in return..

John,

I wish you all the best....money sent.

Awesome idea Art. Its people like you and Mase that make H-T a very welcome and caring place. Not many people would think of doing something like this for their friend. Everyone on here should take lessons from you in this. Again thank you guys. All my prayers are with you and your family John.

John was _THE_ VERY first person to ever reply to a question I had about my Honda. Before Honda-Tech. Before Honda-Acura. Before vtec.net. Before ATI. There was the kens.com mailing list and John was the there helping me out from Day 1 of my online days.

I'll help him in any way I can.

I just can't believe how great this forum is. Actually I can. Every time I post something, I realize how great everyone in this forum is. I lost my dad to cancer a when I was a kid, and I know what a detrimental affect that horrible disease can have. Cancer is my enemy, so I will do anything to help to fight it. I pray that all will go well, and make sure to keep us updated.

I just thought of this aswell. If you are saving your pennies to buy a turbo and would still like to help out this is how you can. If you are looking to buy a precision turbo I will donate $25 for each turbo purchased from me from now till Christmas. I am never affraid to help a friend, a good one like he is, out any time of the day, week or year. Contact me for pricing.....
