Texas Disaster Donations, Part 2

August 29, 2017, 16:30(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Yesterday when I posted a link to JJ Watt’s Houston Flood Relief Fund I believe to donations total was under 1 million dollars. His donation page has been see on every major media outlet. As of this writing total donations are at 3.2 million and rising with 27,000 plus donors!
Keep it up everyone! Many have lost much. Many have lost everything.
Texans. My pride in the country I love has waned over the last several years. The news spends so much time showing us at each others throats. Your courage, goodness, and self-sacrifice has been on display to the world. Thank you for restoring some of my faith in this country and the human race too.
Some great links:

Texas Disaster Donations

August 28, 2017, 18:29(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Warren Illsley pointed me to JJ Watt’s Houston Flood Relief Fund.
Along with being the best Defensive End I have ever seen, he seems to be a decent human being. He is local to the disaster and I will count on him to get the money where it is needed.
I have already donated.
Please donate if you can: https://www.youcaring.com/victimsofhurricaneharvey-915053
If you donate $25 or more and I will send you any or all the TweakGuides you desire for free. Just forward your donation receipt with which guide(s) you want.
Thanks,
Eric

Multiple Sclerosis – Bike MS

April 16, 2017, 10:44(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I am doing a bike ride fundraiser for National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
The goal is to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves an immune-mediated process in which an abnormal response of the body’s immune system is directed against the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. The exact antigen — or target that the immune cells are sensitized to attack — remains unknown, which is why MS is considered by many experts to be “immune-mediated” rather than “autoimmune.”…People with MS typically experience one of four disease courses, which can be mild, moderate or severe.
More than 2.3 million people are affected by MS worldwide. Because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not require U.S. physicians to report new cases, and because symptoms can be completely invisible, the prevalence of MS in the U.S. can only be estimated.

Please donate anything you can.
