Who's With Me?

[mctrav]

I know I don't post that often but I read the forums everyday and sometimes when I read things that happen to good people I get moved. Such is the case with Irishsmoker. Obviously thankful for his service to our country and not only is he now left with a major handicap only to lose his treasured blackthorne.

I think it wouldn't be much as a community here and a wonderful gesture if we each contribute something small so Irish can get himself a new cane. Who's with me?

 

[irishsmoker]

Truely you don't have to! I appreciate it!

I'm in mctrav always willing to help a brother in arms. I have a close friend who teaches Irish Stick fighting who gets blackthorn canes from Ireland. Leave it with me for a couple days to see what I can come up with. Worst case scenario they are about 70pound sterling and about 3 weeks delivery if they are in stock. Glenn might have one at his dojo that he would part with for a good cause. I'll report back after a few phone calls.

@piper12 :clap:

 

[mctrav]

Not really sure what 70 pound sterling means but sounds good, hopefully some more good folk will come forward here.

Hey Irishsmoker is there a specific length that you use? My objective originally was to raise money and transfer it to you via Paypal and u pick it out but if piperl12 can get one we may need some dimensions preffered.

 

[irishsmoker]

Mine was about 35" long!

I'm in. Let me know. We can't replace a family treasure but a nice walking stick from friends may become its own treasure in time.

 

[mctrav]

That's totally fine zanthal moral support is good too these days. I'm a poor fool myself but I will just buy one less tin this month to help out.

If I remember correctly from when his Pete fell off the mantle and broke Irish doesn't use PayPal. Maybe he does now. Whatever works best to get it to him. My first post wasn't so clear. Count me in for sure.

 

[irishsmoker]

My fiancé set up a Paypal so that we have one to use!

 

[groundsar]

I'm in. Let me know.

 

[mctrav]

That's what I was figuring , that whoever was in just send it to his account and he chooses what to get. Any amount is cool, some may want to do a lot or a little.

 

[swhipple]

I'd be willing to help out. PM with the details

 

[phred]

Payday's tomorrow... I'm in.
