Excuse me if this is out of line, but I need to ask a favor. There is a 17 year old student named Justin that was once full of life and he fought a dragon called leukemia, and I'd like to say that he beat it. But now it is back with a vengeance and he is currently on life support with a breathing tube. The only way he can communicate is with his tongue. I have never met him, but my heart goes out to him.

I am not ashamed to say that I am a Christian and I believe in prayer. It would do a lot of peoples hearts well if you pencil geeks would choose any character that you know of or your own design praying. I hope that I have not overstepped my bounds & made you uncomfortable in my request, but think about it. We all need a little help sometimes. The family is decimated with financial burdens and it would be awesome if you found it in your hearts to use your awesome talents to offer your original art of heroes praying for heroes on ebay.

I will use my Own resources to post & offer the sale of your original art. Your name will of course by described in the description of the art that is being auctioned. The concept is yours. All right are yours. All that is interested is raising awareness to this young mans plight and funding for his recovery.

Even though I have no artistic ability about me except with words, I did take a lot of time to design a tee shirt logo that is going to be displayed on tee shirts for sale in his hometown fundraiser.

note to Matt: I am not sure if posting something like this is out of bounds to CBR regulations. If it is, please straighten me out and accept my apologies beforehand and my gratitude if everything is cool.

Here is a photo of Justin. The latest update is that he will have to be on a ventilator for the rest of his life and that he will never be able to swallow again. Prayers are encouraged for the tough guy!
