I posted this in the General Discussion as well...


Many of you may know Jim McIntyre or "Jimmy Mac" from Falcon Hi-Performance. He's been around this sport since the 80's working with teams such as Mad Mac, How Sweet it Is..., MG23 and WHM to name a few. He has also been a friend of mine for more than 10 years and we've gone through many boats together. I met him while working as a salesman for a marine supply company and he's the one who really got me hooked on this sport...

What many of you don't know is that Jimmy and Angela's youngest daughter was diagnosed with a rare disease that has no cure and who is now terminally ill. Brielle is probably the sweetest little girl I have ever come into contact with... When I last saw her this summer, she was visibly ill, but her infectious smile and spirit were well intact.

There is a benefit being held in her honor at Casey's in Westhampton on November 5th, 2006 starting at 1 PM. Tickets are $20. I sincerely hope all the Long Island guys stop by and say hello and spend some time with Jimmy and his family.

For those of you who cannot attend, a fund has been set up on her behalf. Donations of any denomintation are sorely needed and GREATLY appreciated as the costs to keep Brielle at home are incredibly high.

Checks can be made out to:

The Brielle McIntyre Fund
PO Box 474
Hampton Bays, NY 11946

I urge you all to read the attached flyer and find it in your hearts to help bring her home so she can spend her remaining days with her family.

Sean Mr P and I will send a contibution, please send our best wishes to your friend.

I just stumbled upon a thread about John Haggin from AMF and all the bikes he donated to Toys from Tots, he sounds like he has a soft spot for kids hopefuly he see's this thread, or someone tells him about it.

Here's a quote from Augie on John
"Haggin, ALWAYS there for THE KIDS. God Bless you!"

Sean I hope this helps get the word out:


During the month of November 2006, SharkeyMarine.com will be donating 10% of it's Net Profit from Photo Sales in the Online Photo Store dedicating 5% to the Brielle McIntyre Fund and 5% to the Double H Ranch.


Brielle has been added to my website: Charities & Fund Raisers Link

My prayers are with the McIntyre family...

Thanks Tim. Your efforts and generosity are greatly appreciated.

Anytime!

I am going to the Worlds in Destin.

Hopefully I get some decent images that will help contribute to Brielle's Fund...
