Jersey For A Freind?

[fukkanukka]

Dear Avalanche, and to whom it may concern.

I have a freind (a great baller from south Texas, he is 17 years old) who was recently diagnosed with cancer. He is currently in the hospital undergoing a operation in which will take several days, and it will take him serveral weeks to recover from.

His birthday is two weeks from now, and I wanted to supprise him with one of the greatest (paintball) gifts he has ever recived from a freind. I was kind of hoping to get a old jersey off of one of you guys if you would be so willing to give it to someone who could send it to me, or my freind for his birthday.

Im just asking you for a little thing for my freind, if its not ok I totally understand why it is not. I notice people selling all of these jersys on here for $100+. I just want my freind to have a good birthday this time, I know how misurable he is right now, and I also know how special this would make him feel right now.

Thanks for spending your time to read this!

[team futile]

no offense and like not to be mean at all

but now we are all wondering whether or not he really has a friend with cancer. Maybe he does. maybe he doesn't. And ime sure someone would try this to get a free avalanche jersey.

yet again, sry if ur friend really does have cancer, it just sounds kinda sketchy

[dye18paintballer]

Give this kid a jerseys guys, my grandpa has cancer and it's bad enough, but for somebody who is so young it is far worse. Hook the kid up

[atrocity paintball]

heck ya my grandma died with cancer and it sucks if its true give him the jersey but if your friend dosnt have cancer then your a butt stick

[dye18paintballer]

up

My freind (Johnathan Payden Weber) is 17 years old, and was diagnosed with cancer on 1-14-05.

He is currently having an operation to remove some of it, but he will probabally keep getting worse.

I just wanted to give him somehting special for his birthday.

[Tako]

[izrn]

what kind of cancer does your friend have

[Rock_A_Mullet]

yeah hook the kid up fosho

[fukkanukka]

Whatever you can get will be fine, I just thank you for getting something to me and taking the time out of your schedule to do this.

[fukkanukka]

I have PMed you CowboyRoy

[Psybuster]

he has bone cancer

[izrn]

Ouch. From what ive seen Bone cancer is VERY PAINFULL. Does he have mets?

[fukkanukka]

Not that I have heard of yet. I just know he has bone cancer and I know how serious it is.

[Fubarizzle]

My grandmother just died from lung cancer...it sucks, she got it and died within two months once they found out...she also had alzhimers(SP?) which actually helped, as for she didnt remember the pain 5 minutes after it started... :dodgy:

Cancer sucks, my mother is adopted and we don't know what is in her history...the doctors thought she might have had breast cancer...but it wasnt but she still had surgery, and same story for my sister...

Cancer blows, give this guy some good ****. Don't take cancer lightly

[fukkanukka]

so...Whats going on with this? Is it going to be shipped, or what?

[Macanudo]

I don't mean to be rude, but its really hard to expect a Jersey from a pro team just beacuse you posted an article on the biggest paintball forum on the net. We will never ever know if your friend really does have Cancer, and neither will Avalanche. Theres alot of sick people in this world who would make up this kinda stuff, hopefully you aren't one.

[fukkanukka]

why cant anyone trust anyone anymore? Im not preassuring them to send me anything, im just asking for a small favor. When I recive ANYTHING from them I will post what it is, along with pics of it, and if you EVER see it being sold on ANY pb forum well then you can tell Avalanche and they will jump on my like 45 Pit Bulls on a steak. I only want this for a freind, Im never going to put it on.

[CowboyRoy]

Waddup.......just letting you know I got your pm and we will be shipping either a signed jersey or a signed Team shirt......I will get it signed in Pomona this week and ship it to you next week..sorry I couldnt get back to you sooner.

[fukkanukka]

Hey man, thats not a problem at all. I really appricieate you doing this for me. I am sure my freind will love whatever you send.

Once again, Thanks a bunch.

[kodiak61]

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Now for my sad story. My wife is mad at me. This is almost worse than having cancer if you know my wife, or have any experience with pissing off hot blooded italian women.

I would like Avalanche to buy me an escort. I know that you must get this kind of request all the time, and I understand if the answer is no.

But if you could find it in your heart to hook me up, then I will never forget you.

Seriously though, cool move sending the kid something for his b-day.

Hope the dude gets better.

[fukkanukka]

their are some people on these forums who are VERY ignorant. If you have NOTHING HALF decent to say about ANYTHING related to the thread, post it...If not, PLEASE stay out of the thread.

[ContractKi113R 4hire]

The truth is dude, that in this world today people are sick enough to take advantage of others with a sad story like that.

Dont instantly think that cause people dont believe you means that they are out to get you. We just wanna make sure ur not gonna pull crap like that.

Its pretty obvious you arent at this point. Srry to hear about your friend

[COLD_ICE]

yea send him a jersey if hes lying KARMA will get him if not then some kid will be pretty happy for his birthday.

if he is sick hope he gets better

[PORK SWORD]

sorry about your boy, hope everything works out for him, and the jersey or whatever, eases his pain for a little bit. much props out to the guys from avalanche, big karma points for that.
nice work guys and good luck in cali.

[bunkerdive]

i got bone cancer too...not much fun, im still on the long road to recovery :( CANCER SUCKS! give the man a jersey. and tell the dude to do the make-a-wish foundation thing. i am going to do it soon and probably wish to go on a vacation thats in the same place as a paintball event and catch one. im also gonna see if theyll hook me up with some new gear and mayb meet some ppl. :)

[bunkerdive]

did he have osteosarcoma? thats what i have, it blows. no paintball for me :( tell ur bud happy birthday and that hell get thru it if i have been able to do it so far. when i tried to sell my guns, ppl asked why and i told them cuz i had cancer and no1 believed me either :( ppl can just be so mean sometimes

[blindsideballer655]

dude...avalanche is so awesome...i think its pretty cool that they care for their fans so much to do something...ask any other team and you would ge blown off

[bunkerdive]

also there is an annual thing in my city called the Big Spring Jam and switchfoot heard my story and was nice enough to give me and 4 or 5 friends seats on the side of the stage during their concert. before and after we hung out and they gave me autographed stuff. that really made my day/week/year and i really wish i could find the story online but i cant :(
