As most everyone here knows, I recently was diagnosed with both non-hodgkins lymphoma and prostate cancer. The toll taken by this double-dose of cancer has far more than just physical as anyone who has been so afflicted can tell you. The emotional issues are greatly exacerbated by money worries that are in turn compounded by the inability to work during treatment.
So I have started a crowdfunding campaign to help raise money to cover cancer expenses while I'm undergoing treatment. Right now there are two components to this effort. One is that I have a crowdfunding site for direct donations. It can be found at http://ift.tt/1Cfb3t2.
The other is that I opened an Etsy shop to offer this model in several variants. It can be purchased as a digital file, a printed hard copy or I will build it and ship it to you. I'm also offering crochet dishcloths handmade by my beloved wife Essie.
This model holds great personal significance for me. Dave Winfield very graciously agreed to re-color his "Miss America" P-51 Mustang air racer as an exclusive model for me to offer for this fund raising promotion. It is of course named for Essie. It sports the awareness colors for both non-hodgkins lymphoma and prostate cancer. It carries the awareness ribbons for both conditions as nose art and finally it has two crab silhouette "kill" markings on the port side nose.
Here are some photos of the model. I hope that you like it as much as I do.
Thanks to anyone who actually has read all the way to the end of this post. Special thanks to anyone who purchases any of my Etsy offerings or donates any amount at my crowdfunding site.
And finally a very special thanks to Dave Winfield for his extreme generosity and friendship. Also a special thankyou to Geraldo for building the "beta" version of this model to provide the photos.
