    Default A forum member is in need of our support ~ PLEASE READ

    Hey folks,

    Haven't been on here in a while, busy with work and life! Just wanted to stop by and share some very sad news that I learned about last night. Joey (member: R1_Ridah) is currently battling leukemia. He needs all the help he can get, both prayers and blood donations. The guys on MFK are getting together for donations, so if you're in the socal area, please donate if you can. For more information, click this link here, it will take you to the thread on MFK. Thanks for all your help!

    Oh and here's his tank thread for those who don't know Joey: http://forum.simplydiscus.com/showth...n..&highlight=

    OMG I met Joey. He is a really nice guy. I know he said he was getting out of the hobby for family reasons, but I did not know it was because of this. Definitely going to see what I can do.

    Folks,

    It's tough to sit here and type this, but Joey lost his battle against leukemia. Last night he left us and went on to a better place. RIP Joey. You were a true friend and a great inspiration
