Thought of our late friend Andrey again tonight. His 2 year anniversary leaving us for the perfect wave is coming up....and a lot of other crap has happened since, I know. Others are still battling, I know that too.
So people, rather than focus on the negative, let's try to adopt that ever-present smile my friend had on his face and with a positive attitude put together a fundraiser ending June 14, 2014
I would suggest 75% to Cancer Research (as targeted a group as we can find), 25% to keep the BWD site going.

I have some prizes to donate, hopefully others can be added here (pls send me a private message):

- 1 Large GOYA sticker (16x16", priceless) w/ poster
- 3 DVD's I picked up of "Spare Change" kiteboarding (new, $12?)

- 1 Bigwavedave L hoodie (new, black, no zip, $40)
- 1 GATH watersports "Surf Hat" helmet (new, size M, some colors, $115)



*Perhaps $10 per entry, (modest target of $2000?)
**Enter as many times as you like?
***Send to "make a donation" button on the home page with caption "Russian Dood"....we're thinking of you.... always

He was an amazing and generous guy, it makes me sad to remember he is gone. He was one of the good ones

If this is a go I'm in.

Looks like we may have to put a hold on this for now to figure out best contributions options etc. for tax receipts and stuff. I am having a very busy time right now and cannot figure it all out. thx all
