I've asked Heather to make this a sticky so this fundraising effort gets as much attention as possible.

Kenny is losing the support of his insurance company very soon.

He needs a very specialized piece of equipment desperately.

That special equipment costs 22,000.00 .

I have been in touch with JIMMY WINTERS of TalkinTrash Racing and together we are adding our support to this cause.

The current fundraising effort has raised 3,000.00.

If the members on this board help by raising a further 4,000.00 for our fellow boater Jim and I will forward the final 15,000.00 between us and help Kenny as quickly as possible.

The devastation to a family under these circumstances is incomprehensible to me and the fact that it could happen to any one of us in a split second is very sobering.

I thank Jimmy for stepping up instantly.

Hey folks,
This family has been devastated enough and Kenny can't afford a lapse in his therapy that this piece of equipment provides. Alec and I are putting up $8k each but we still need to come up with $4k
All the people behind this effort would be so grateful for your help.
Thanks to jeannine and the people closest to Kenny for all your hard work.
Thanks to Alec for doing the legwork

Hi Mike!

The members of the "Ontario Offshore Powerboat Association" have mailed a cheque today for the Kenny Cranmer Fund. For those who would like to mail a cheque (any amount will help and be appreciated), here is the mailing address.

Benefit Fund of Kenny Cranmer
c/o Jeannine Fucci
900 Barnegat Blvd. N
Unit 306
Barnegat, NJ 08005

Make cheque payable to "Benefit Fund of Kenny Cranmer".

Want to thank Mike "Hauling Trash" for bringing this to everyone's attention and trying to help a fellow racer and his family. Alec Cloke and Jimmy Winters, what can we say about everything you guys continue to do for others and everyone else who is trying to help Kenny and his family. The greatest rehab that Kenny is getting, is from his 2 daughters, 4 grandchildren and his wife Bonnie. You guys put a big smile on Kenny's face everyday you are around him, with your love, kindness and support. I know it means the world to Kenny and motivates him to keep going. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kenny and his family.

Andy

Well, there's a little extra in there now as I just got around to making my donation.

You guys rock. Offshoreonly.com is, in the truest sense of the word, a community. You just proved it.
