    On November 30th, my wife's cousin Scotty was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). This cancer is of the myeloid line of blood cells, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal white blood cells that accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the productin of normal blood cells. On December 5th he started chemotherapy to fight the cancer. He spent the next 38 days at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. He made it thru the first round and on January 3rd he was able to go home! For the next 4 months, Scotty will be going thru round 2 of chemo as an out patient. Traveling to Moffitt for his treatment.
    Scotty is 32 years young and is married. He owns a condo with his wife and he has a job, but is unable to work right now, and as most young people, he doesn't have health insurance.
    So to help with the costs of the hospital bills my wife started a Go Fund Me for her cousin. After the campaign lost a little steam I thought I would start a raffle to raise as much money as I could! If you are interested, the cost of a ticket is $5 dollars and after you donate, send me an email at [email protected] so I can get you your numbers. At the end of the month I will randomly generate the wining number's for the different lots of beer!

    Lot#1 - 2014 Summation B4, 2015 Frampaars, 2014 Vanilla Rye, 2014 Marshal Zhukov and 2015 Maple Bacon Coffee Porter(picking up 1/9) and 3 Sons glassware

    Lot#2 - 2015 Hunaphu's Imperial Stout, 2015 Arthur, and 2015 Nikolai Vorlaf

    Lot#3 - 2015 Rare BCBS

    And more to come!

    Thank you for your time and Cheers!

    Very cool of you to run this Joe. My dad spent 5 months of his life under the great care of Moffitt before he passed in June. I'll be donating as well. I wish Scotty the best of luck in his fight!

    Cheers,
    Mike
