Tragedy

2008-10-23

Below is an email I received from a longtime friend on PokerStars. If you would like to contact him regarding this matter please do so. I encourage everyone to donate to this cause no matter how small you choose to do so.

CMB,

Thanks a lot for considering this and taking the time to read this and reach out. I have been CLOSE friends with the Crowther family for 20 years now. Dave is my best friend, and 2 years older than Dave, his brother Graeme. We all played sports together in HS, and remained close over the years. On August 24th, Graeme decided to go into work early, 5.am, and somehow lost control of his car. He was thought to be paralyzed from his neck down, but since surgery and rehab, he has had some movement in his arms and hands. He went under a 12 hour surgery with 8 surgeons and is now spending 3-5 months in rehab at the SHEPHERD center in ATL GA. The bills are unreal. I cant imagine how much, but as a friend, I am just trying to raise a little money. What makes this even more sad, is that I just attended his wedding on July 19th. His wife has been great through this, but its obviously never easy for anyone. I have asked each of the 60 people on my AIM from poker for just a small donation, and I was surprised that the people I havent talked to in the longest time, have been the ones to reach out. Some pledged $5, others $10-20. I have created an account on FULL TILT poker, and all of the money will go to his fund. They are also selling T shirts saying "team graeme" on them for $20. you can direct x-fer to full tilt account TeamGraemeFund, or send to me on Pokerstars, zachuriNH, and I will manually move the money. I cant thank you enough for your help. Any other info or links you would like to learn more, let me know...
