Benefit for a friend in need at Speedzone

Hi there LS1 Truck. I wanted to take a moment and let you know that our group of car enthisiast has a member who is not in the greatest health condition. His name is Shaun Toombs. In February 2008, he was diagnosed with a particular brain tumor. He has been through several rounds of chemo and radiation treatments. Because of those treatments, he does get sick and does not get to come out much to events and GTG's.

The type of Brain tumor that he has is a Stage 4 GBM, glioblastoma multiforme. It is inoperable because it is in the most important part of his brain where his entire nervous system comes together, and it would kill him if they even tried. The tumor has shrunk in size, however it does have strands attached to the tumor, like tentacles, that have attached themselves to nerves that controls his motor skills. We are trying to raise money for him to be admitted to MD Anderson located in Houston to have the best treatment that he can get. If there is a way to kill those tentacles, we could prove science wrong. There is not a cure for this kind of cancer/tumor.

Glioblastoma multiforme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mr.Klean has been friends with Shaun for many years. I have known Shaun and his wife Monica for the past five years. We have all been friends and may have shared our differences, but they are family. I am putting together a benefit for Shaun to help him get the best treatment possible. He does not have medical insurance and we are trying to raise money for him to be admitted to one of the best hospitals in TX that can help him with this tumor, MD Anderson, which is located in Houston.

I have contacted Speedzone and they are willing to help us. We will have a parking lot to ourselves where everyone can park. If you could, please drive your vehicle if you can. Shaun would love to see all the cars and trucks. I will have SpeedZone passcards for sale for $42.00. Twenty two dollars covers the price of the card, the other $20 will go straight to Shaun's benefit for MD Anderson. The Speedzone card would be for 3 hours of all you can race, roller coaster ride, games (excludes games that give you tickets) and miniature golf. You do not have to be there at 11 am. Your card will be activated once you go inside and activate it. I wanted to do this at 11am because this is a not so busy time for Speedzone. Please RSVP by Wednesday April 8th 2009 with how many cards you would like to purchase. ALL the tracks will be open!

*If this is a bad weather day, it will be moved to April 18th 2009 at 11am

There will be a silent auction for a 4 hour All You Can Race, Ride, Play pass, whoever donates the most amount of money will receive this pass that you can use at a later date.

Ok guys and gals, I wanted to give you guys an update.

Shaun had his last Chemo treatment from Parkland on Friday. Since there is nothing that Parkland has to offer him, except Chemo, they have told him that he needs to find some other means of treatment. Monica is speaking with several specialist about what other options that he has. But because some of the other options are vey expensive, Shaun will not be able to do the treatments until after the SpeedZone benefit. He is resting comfortably at home and is catching up on some well needed rest.

For those who would like to purchase SpeedZone Passes and do not want to use the PAYPAL Account:

Mr.Klean and I will be holding a "Drop Off" Party at our apartment on Friday April 10th from 7:30-11:30 pm. During this time you can come over, chit chat, sign a Get Well Soon Card for him, and drop off your money for the Speedzone passes or donation money. Your name will be put on an envelope with the number of passes that you bought. Your passes will be available to you on Sunday at Speedzone when you arrive. We will have a special parking area for the cars that would like to be put in a many car show. We will have a little area setup to pick up your cards. Your cards will be activated when you swipe it at ANY track or video game. Once you have swiped the card, the timer starts and cannot be turned off.
Speedzone does have a cafe that you can eat and drink at. They have a full menu that you can order from at very inexpensive prices.

Please contact me through PM or email robin_lindley@adp.com for the "Drop Off Party" address.
I will not have any extra cards available on the day of the Event. So please if you are wanting to come, please make sure you contact me no later than April 10th.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! I hope to see everyone there!

If there is rain on Sunday at 10:30 am on April 12th, this is a bad weather day, it will be moved to April 19th 2009 at 11am
