I just want to encourage all of the posters on this web site to make a pledge of monetary support. Our family has contibuted for years to the childrens cancer research fund here in Minneapolis. This year we are also contributing to OCF. What Brian has built here is nothing short of a miracle, I can really see his heart and soul poured into this effort. I'm about 6 months away from 5 years cancer free and still check this site nearly daily. Those of you that contribute on a regular basis are a blessing to all of the newbies. Thanks for your support!

I would like to thank Dave/stefon (and of course all the others that have made online donations to OCF) for his continued support and involvement over the years. I want everyone to notice his message board member number. As the builder of the board, I was the very first poster, and am number 4.... he has been with us since the very beginning when OCF was only a seed of an idea. The ability for this forum to continue to exist is only possible through the financial support of the people that come here, and the function that it serves, to support and help others, is only made possible by private individuals who continue to be involved from an emotional standpoint. Dave, and those that stay to become long-term OCF family, are the reason this all works.
