Default Gun Raffle against Cancer

New Prizes added:

Also Outcast has donated a $50 gift card for the drawing as well. Big thanks to them.<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD class=smalltxt vAlign=top>

Whatever we raise over the cost of the gun goes to Chandler. I just got a brand new Remington 870 Super Mag in full camo, 12ga, 3.5". This gun sales for $549, Panhandle Shooting Sportsis letting us have it for cost, they also donated for the Lung Buster Contest.

Tickets on sale.

1 fer $10

5 fer $40

Money will need to be mailed to me in a check or money order. Im not doing Paypal due to the 3% hit we will take and that adds up. I will have the carbon copy which I will write your name on. At the Party we will do a drawing for the shotgun and the matching number wins. You DO NOT have to be present to win. The gun will have to be picked up in Crestview at Panhandle Shooting Sports within 30 days. If for some reason the gun is not picked up (which I doubt will happen) there will be another drawing. You do not have to be a FL residentto win, if you are out of town the gun can be shipped to your FFL.

Lets sell some tickets to help Chandler out with medical bills. The PFF Lung Buster contest alone raised $750 for him In Oct. and thats just from the small amount of hunters that joined. I know the PFF in whole can blow that out of the water.

Chandler is the grandson of forum member Shiznik. He has been fighting cancer now for sometime and all the money over the cost of the gun will go to help pay his medical bills, out of town Dr. trips, and anything else he may need.<P align=left>Chandler Roulhac is our 11 year old grandson. He enjoys fishing, music, sports, loves basketball and hanging out with his friends. Last April, his mom noticed him limping. Once in a while he would want to come home from school with headaches and feeling a little under the weather. When his mom asked about him limping, he told her that his legs and hips hurt. I tried to help find out what was wrong with him and started out by asking around for advice on the PFF because I thought he might have gotten Lyme?s Disease. <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> There were so many PFF members that offered prayers and advice to help assess what might be going on with him. I cannot begin to thank everyone for all their prayers and support that have been sent his way. We were all scared because the doctors didn?t have any answers either. After X-Rays, bone scans, blood labs, placing him on crutches, finally they scheduled an MRI. They told us that they had found a mass on his brain and he would have to go to Sacred Heart in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Pensacola</st1:City></st1lace>. <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> He was taken by ambulance on August 15<SUP>th</SUP> 2008. By 10:00 p.m. that night they were doing an operation and inserted a tube to drain the fluids. It was Cancer and he had three spots on his spine and a tumor on his brain stem. The tumor is called polycitic astrocytoma. Dr. Canaday at <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Sacred</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Heart</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Hospital</st1:PlaceType> in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Pensacola</st1lace></st1:City> performed a 12 hour surgery in an attempt to remove the tumor. She could not remove all of it because it is on the brain stem. <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> During the last year the doctors found spots on his spine that are cancerous and eventually wound up with what I believe was 3 spots on his spine, one at his base of his brain stem, 2 others on his brain and a spot behind his left eye. He underwent numerous trips to SHANDS and Sacred Heart hospital in <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Pensacola</st1:City></st1lace> for Chemotherapy, blood transfusions and platelet infusions. We were also told later that his type of cancer may be of a different kind due to its behavior and characteristics. <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> The Chemotherapy reduces his white cell count and makes it hard for him to fight off normal germs or any infection he might get. He has almost completed Radiation treatments at <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Sacred</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Heart</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Hospital</st1:PlaceType> in <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Pensacola</st1:City></st1lace> which have been out patient visits and the doctor will have an MRI done following to see how the cancer has responded to the treatments. Prior to this series of Radiation treatments we got an update in June of some progress reporting he still had only one spot on his brain, three spots on his spine and one spot on his brain was completely gone. Throughout the year, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Chandler</st1lace></st1:City> has had set backs but has a very strong will to live. He will have school at home and some at <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Blue</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Water</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Bay</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Elementary School</st1:PlaceType></st1lace> this year.<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> The Pensacola Fishing Forum is truly more than just a place to meet others that enjoy fishing or hunting. It is made of many people who care about others genuinely like a family. I cannot begin to put in words how much it means to belong to such a wonderful group of friends. God Bless all of you!<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><st1:PersonName w:st="on">Chris Anglin</st1:PersonName>

Who is Chandler and what are the donations going for? Sounds good to me either way I'd just like to know the reason for the donation!

100 tickets $20 a piece. Good odds and around $1500 in the bank. JMHO

The gun will be going through an FFL, gun will need to be picked up from Panhadle Shooting Sports in Crestview or can ship to your FFL for an additional fee.
