I can't believe all the support as of right and I can't even begin to tell you guys how much he will appreciate this. I'm making the calls today to those of you whom responded especially Blue Octane and Sy Goldberg.
Do you guys typically do some sort of meetup while you are down there visiting the show? Like at a bar or something? |
I just spoke to John Walker,the president of BAJA and was told that the MIAMI show will not work out but he extended an invite for your group to come to the factory and they will provide whatever they can there.

Thoughts and prayers... You should setup a donation pool for him as well.
|
Already have a donation pool from him. We started it early on in his treatments to help cover costs and raised a little over $7,000. He is closing in on the last of the treatments with no luck thus far. At this point, it's really just about trying to do things that he wants to do while he still can and spend time with the family.

understood.. Godspeed.

The tentative dates are the 12th through the 17th. We still haven't decided on whether we are flying or driving. We may drive down and fly back as well or vice-versa. We are booking everything this weekend and if we drive, we will most likely probably make a pit stop at the Baja factory in NC on the way down. |
We will be there at that time. Like I said we will be driving down from my house in Orlando on that Friday, and spending the weekend in Ft Lauderdale and leaving either late Sunday or Monday. Of course one day will be at the show, but the others are a vacation/boating time for us. PM me your phone number and I will call you. We don't have any plans set in stone, but just a general idea of what we want to do. There is a party at the clevlander Saturday night that I think a few people will be attending.

Prayers for your father and your family and I hope everything works out for him.

Just to update all of you. Mass General Hospital has stopped all treatments at this time and have given him two, maybe three months to live. The doctors said that the trial treatment will most likely not work because of the nature of the disease and extent that it has metastasized throughout his body (It’s literally in almost every muscle in his body at this point). He has one on his brain that they are extremely worried about if it starts growing. They said that if he continued the treatment, he will just get sicker and with the high percentage that it wouldn't work, they would rather have him just be comfortable for the remaining months instead of being miserable. Hospice will be called in pretty soon.
At this point, we are not sure if the trip mentioned above is going to happen. We don't think he will make a 24+hour drive nor would he want to and I'm afraid of bringing him on a commercial flight and risking being exposed to something that might make him sicker or less comfortable. We are meeting with the group in the next couple days to figure things out but I figured I would let the forum know and thank you for your prayers and support during this time. |
