Thanks Trikitty

Just spoke with Kittycat - Maurice is going to be so happy - and for the information of all those that have contibuted - or are thinking about it - this man slept at a Salvation Army hostel for several nights because he had NO CASH - he told Kitty cat it was horrible - but he had no choice.

Not only can we get his bike replaced - we can also put some cash back in his hands - he had his cash and credit cards stolen.

Kittycat said that he was actually working how how he was going to get home - he was not even thinking about getting another bike - he simply needed to arrange to get home - he is extremely humbled by the fact we are even making an effort - he has no idea of the magnitude of our effort - we told him we are trying to simply raise a few bucks - he is going to be BLOWN away.

Now.....who has any contacts at any of our trade publications - velonews, Triathlete etc etc etc etc?????

Maybe they could pitch in - or if nothing else - give some exposure to the good folks here at slowtwitch for their generosity!!!

OK, I just paypalled a few nickels from my piggybank.

If I feel good about trying to help like this, does that make it a selfish act?

God bless all who set this thing in motion.

I've got two paniers at home that I can send. Someone gave them to me, but I've never used them. I also have a light Mizuno rain jacket that I can give up (got it for almost free but don't really need it). (It has "Motorola Marathon" printed on the front).

that's great. Andrew (onefoutry) has his address listed. you can ship the jacket, etc. to Andrew and he will then ship in one shipment the box of gear.

if you can contribute the rainjacket and the panier that would be awesome!

so to recap, the list is as follows:

-camping gear--Jim

-rainjacket--cruisergirl

-panier--cruisergirl

That wold be great - my address is sitting in this thread SOMEWHERE

If you forward the gear to me - I will pass it along.

Ok- so this is where we are at right now

We have a few pending payments but we just hit the thousand dollar mark @$1020.00

In addition to the equipment donations - we plan to have installed on the bike before he takes delivery - a new computer, lights and a new helmet.

I have left a message for Maurice - he has no idea at this stage of our success in raising the funds - I will update everyone after I hear from him.

After all is said and done - he will walk away from this episode whole - with a few hundred buicks in his pocket - which should ease his pain and enable him to not only continue on his journey =- but also continue to use his bike for mobility on a daily basis.

I can assure you that no matter disheartened he may have been by those criminal acts, the Slowtwitch community will have certainly restored his faith in mankind.

Doesn't matter what kind of bike you ride - we are all a community - and as evidenced by today - a community that supports each other

Great job everyone - donations can still come in for the next few days if you choose to contribute - I am hoping to finalize the purchase of the bike and accessories for him by the weekend - and have the donated items shipped to him within the same time frame.

KITTYCAT - a huge effort and thank you for organizing this whole thing and for your personal generosity





MEEEEOW!!!!!!!!!

wow--I can't wait to hear how he is going to feel after all of this!!!

excellent job to each and every person who has taken action today to make a REAL difference in someone's life. Each of you who has stepped up to do something should feel great!

It's one thing to recognize injustice, but is a whole other thing to step up and do something about it. Those who contributed to this situation have done just that. It shows the power of positive people. Together we can make great things happen!!

Got it. Watch the evening network news tonight on NBC. If the anchorman is wearing a red tie, then all is safe, and your cover is secure.
