2012-07-06 - Rider Down, *m.f

really glad to hear he is improving.

keep on keeping on

8ball, thank you so much for the updates

Fingers crossed for you, J. Positive vibes going your way! x

Sounds like really good progress. All the best to m.f., let us know if there's donations and stuff we can do for you once you get out of hospital.

Not sure if anyone's asked this upthread, but how's the bike. Sure he'll need one soon enough.

From looking after 50/14 it can be quite exhausting managing everything.

Is there someone who is organised, trustworthy and able to let their paypal account be used for donations to come in, and they can then forward the money to Eightball?

It could then mean there is a warchest to help buy things like nice foods and other incidentals whilst *mf is in hospital.

I would volunteer but I am not the most organised person and my paypal account has a fair degree of other activity at the the moment.

GWS *mf, a credit to the forum and no doubt the real world too. thoughts are with you.

I am happy to offer my paypal account ( hardly use it) to get stuff to make Jason's life better while in hospital also of he needs anything to get him back on a bike. I asked 8ball to find out if he need financial help or if money will help lighten his life while recovering. I will transfer any funds to 8ball or to someone 8ball suggests.

I will ask Velocio to email forum people with my email to facilitate this (rather than post my email here) once I hear back from 8ball

David, good work

Is PayPal the best idea? There are fees...

Wishing for your full and speedy recovery Jason. MM x

Just caught up with this. Get well soon Jason.

There will, unfortunately, be plenty of time to decide how to help Jason.

Thoughts are with you. Heal up fast.

Jason will love the idea of us all clubbing together.

...Especially given his post count in the house thread

Just seen this thread, awful news but it sounds like his treatment so far is working positively. Keep going Jason. Thoughts and positive vibes are going your way. x

Once again - keep strong Jason - have this ...

GOING DOWN HILL ON A BICYCLE

Henry Charles Beeching (1859-1919)

With lifted feet, hands still,
I am poised, and down the hill
Dart, with heedful mind,
The air goes by in a wind

Swifter and yet more swift,
Till the heart with a mighty lift
Makes the lungs laugh, the throat cry:-
"O bird, see; see, bird, I fly"

"Is this, is this your joy?
O bird, then I, though a boy,
For a golden moment share
Your feathery life in air!"

Say, heart, is there aught like this
In a world that is full of bliss?
Tis more than skating, bound
Steel shod to the level ground

Speed slackens now, I float
Awhile in my airy boat
Till, when the wheels scarce crawl,
My feet to the treadles fall

Alas, that the longest hill
Must end in a vale; but still,
Who climbs with toil, whereso'er,
Shall find wings waiting there.

Thanks for getting back to me eightball. Be great if you got flowers on our behalf in the short term. Keep track of what you lay out, let us know. We can reimburse you in money or beers. (Perhaps DJs offer of £50 on another thread can go for this?)

When we have more information and are able to assess if a 'warchest' is needed we can do the paypal thing and raise funds.

Only just seen this, really sickening to read but fingers crossed that the news keeps getting better.

Thoughts on a message for the card? 'From all on LFGSS' etc.?

Htfu!

^has to be this

or "have you considered cycle training?"

Htfu!

I thought that - or 'Heal the FU'

??

hopefully *m.f can decide what the H stands for

harden the fuck up

followed by the question

OK! James I've replied to your PM - cheers
