    Thoughts and prayers go out to your dad. Cancer has affected so many lives. Lost one of my best friends to cancer growing up who never even got to get his drivers license. I'm in and 100% of winnings will be donated.

    I wish you and the family and friends of your father the best. I will definitely join in on the tourney Monday. I cant imagine my dad in that position, but just the thought is awful. Good luck, and i will see the rest of you Monday night.

    I'm IN

    I'm no balla but if I suck out my way to some cash for your dad, that would be awesome. My great friend is battling it now. I hope all goes well.

    Best wishes to your father Devin

    I met him outside of the Fontana room at the Bellagio and you was deep in a tourney and he said he was there rooting for his son, I asked him who is son was and he said it was Davin Porter and I told him you should be proud and he said he was very proud of you.

    You have always been a class act and I want to pledge 2% of all my wsop cashes this year to your dad. I hope we can get a few more players to do this and really make a difference.

    I hope you and your family are doing well in these tough and trying times.

    Shawn

    The total from the initial OT fundraising thread was $488. There was one donation where the amount was xxxxxxed out so I don't know that total. So I d think there was right at $500 from the first thread. There is a new thread which is linked to below.

    i think a good idea would be a small percentage of profit from sunday majors pledged to this cause.

    Can't play but was going to register anyway until I realized that there is always some dbag that won't give you half or all of the winnings, so I just transferred to your account instead.

    Stay strong Mr. Porter!!!

    Oh wait, I registered even though I have a board meeting so I guess now, thanks to the omnicient mhoddi I will unregister and just ship the $30 to you if that works.

    My dad beat stage 4 lymphoma 5 years ago, I'm willing to bet your dad will beat it too, stay strong brother!
