I was wondering what the password was for that. I may enter if I get my money account on FTP set up by then.

I will not be able to make it to this tournament on Sunday due to other obligations. I will however buy in and blind out to support the cause. This is a cause that I hold very dear to my heart. My wife was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer almost three years ago. She has been battling hard and has been through many rounds of chemo. She was not expected to make it to this past Christmas, but somehow we have been blessed. While she still shows no sign of recovery I never give up hope.

In the past few years I have devoted a large amount of time to raising money for foundations such as LIVESTRONG, the make a wish foundation, and many cancer research hospitals. With the help of my family and friends we have helped raise over $200,000.

If anyone who reads this, knows Rich and Jill personally, please let them know they are not alone in their fight and I wish them my best. Never give up hope.

I also wish you the best of luck, Guitarguy. I've been through cancer and know what it does to you - it's a brutal disease. Keep fighting - those doctors aren't always right - trust me.

Thanks Jaconda! It's good to have a lot of support, and no doctors are rarely right about these kinds of things. That's why we don't give up.

Thanks to all of you for your support of our turny. We had a great turnout, and provided some much needed moral support for Jill and Rocco. We were glad you were able to make it for a while GG, and Kanzaz....good God what a steamroller. Very impressive play. It was my pleasure to play with the classiest bunch of players I've ever been around. Thank you all.
