Help a friend of mine, gain good karma!

Hi Everyone!
Okay, so here's the deal. A longtime friend of mine has developed brain cancer. As it is commonly known what a hardship that can be not only physically, it can take quite a financial toll as well. Her and her husband are both really great people and I hate to see such things happen to good people. Some of the folks who still live up north are organizing an event "The Susan Smith-Kennedy Benefit against Brain Cancer" to help them both in the form of personal support and also to collect donations for her and her family to assist with medical, transportation and living expenses. I am aware that it is HIGHLY unlikely that any of you know Susan and Gerry, and even so, I am asking that if you can, to please make a donation to the fund they've set up on paypal for the support of her and her family. By no means should anyone feel obligated to donate just because I am one of the site owners. I'm just trying to help Susan and Gerry out in a time of crisis, and who truly deserve any assistance they can get. If you don't donate, that is okay, if you do, then that is very generous of you and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
Also, if you do choose to donate to the fund, please send me a PM letting me know, along with any well wishes etc. that you would like me to pass along to them. I would feel like a complete asshole if I did not at least post something asking people to find the generosity in their hearts/minds/souls and help some really fantastic people out when the universe has just dealt them a lousy hand.
If you would like to extend a hand to them, the paypal address for donations is susankennedycancerfund@gmail.com
There are details about the event at the following link:

Thanks for taking the time to read this and in advance to anyone who is able to donate in their support.
