I posted about this on the shameless plugs board, but I'll rehash it here. Richard Van Remmen II—a fellow MSTie—and his wife Yadi were visiting Yadi's home town in Mexico when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Now The Order of the League (QuipTracks, Ice on Mars, and TreacheRiffs), plus Ronin Fox Trax, are donating all sales in August to funding her treatments. I can only speak for The Order of the League members, but we will be including the transaction fees and such in our donation so that every cent you spend goes to the fund.
Additionally, I am offering a $2 bounty for each and every new review posted on the Order of the League website. They don't have to be glowing, just your honest feelings after watching a track by QuipTracks, Ice on Mars, or TreacheRiffs. Jurassic Park and Lady in the Water are free and JP is streaming on Netflix. If that's still too high an entry cost, PM me. Reviewers have already raised $70 with just a few clicks and keystrokes.
Let your fingers do the walk-a-thon-ing!
Here's the full story from the GoFundMe page:

Here's the full story from the GoFundMe page:
My wife and I went to her home town of Iguala, Mexico for the last 2 1/2 weeks of June and for several months she had been complaining about abdominal pains but never got it checked out by a doctor (because she had no insurance here in the United States) till this trip.
While there, she was checked by 3 different doctors and the diagnosis ranged from minor to major issues like a hernia, a hormone imbalance, and a 7cm cyst on one of her ovaries. All of which are treatable in Mexico. We decided that she stay behind in Iguala, Mexico for treatment and I return home to handle things there till she's ready to return.
But then when I called her the night of June 30 to let her know I made it home, she tells me the cyst is actually a tumor and a cancerous one at that! So now we've gone from minor to major to Very Serious health issues in only a few days. The severity of the cancer is unknown currently as she is having further tests conducted, but more than likely she will have to have a hysterectomy and then chemotherapy. We don't have any children together and now we never will but at least we have each other.
I have been an emotional mess these last few days as I am 2200 miles away and there's nothing I can do. She's with family that can help and support her in the meantime.
I just Hope the doctors caught this in time and that treatment goes well so she can return home to me in the states.
Asking for thoughts, prayers, and any donation you can spare to help pay for her treatment and save her life...
