Donation for the Heltons done. I also have some unused Hayabusa Hybrid MMA gloves I can throw into the raffle. I was gonna trade them with Jon for some privates, but I'm sure he would rather I do this:)
Donation sent from San Diego CA! Hope it helps Jon!

This whole thing truly does blow my mind. You guys are all amazing and I'm so proud to be a part of the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu family. I honestly can't express how much all this means to me. A lot of you have followed my facebook posts through the first surgery and have been a great support the entire time. It blows my mind to see all these people I don't know that are pitching in...truly awesome and really is one big family. Thanks to everybody who donated as the money will go directly to hospital bills. I am honestly speechless at the thought of all this support. Thanks for the bottom of my heart.
Eddie and Kendell - Thank you such much! 10th Planet Charlotte will stay alive and thrive!!
That would be great man! Do me a favor, take a picture of them (e-bay style) and send them to 10thPlanetFund@gmail.com :)Quote:

I'll be doing the first raffle drawing this Sunday afternoon (Oct 9th)
So make sure to keep donating guys- Every $5 gets you a raffle ticket. I'm gonna have to get another Raffle Roll if you guys keep this up! Best "problem" to have!
Finally, I've got quite a few messages from people who are adding a few things to the Raffle. It's quite possibly the nicest thing you can do to help out one of our buddies :)
If any of you want to add ANYTHING, please let me know.
I'm proud guys, VERY proud.
Donation sent!
Done, best wishes
I get paid at midnight Thursday so I'll definitely be donating some money. :)
when my first was born, had a similar situation not as bad though... hope it will help
all the best Jon
Will do brother!Quote:

Jon I sent $100, I wish I could send more now, but I will donate as often as I can. I feel for you brother, I know theres nothing I can say to make anything easier, and that just blows... The wife will prob flip, but it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission ;) I had to use Brandy's paypal...

I own housecatmma.com I have some shirts to use if you guys want to add them to the raffle? Let me know. Much love to Jon and Davis.
We couldn't be helping a nicer person. Jon's a Jedi master on the mats, an all-around good guy & I'm sure an awesome father.
Jon, good luck with everything - one day this will all be in your distant rear view mirror. Stay strong - we are all pulling for you & your family.

you guys rock
It's great how you guys are all pitching in to help Jon out. He is has really branched out to become friends with all the grappling schools in the Charlotte area. Mark Cukro who is a Pedro Sauer brown belt and owner of Integrated Martial arts in Harrisburg NC is organizing a fund raiser for Jon. He is getting volunteers from several of the school owners in the area and it will be Nov. 5th from 2-5. Instructors from many different school are getting together for a big seminar where the money will go to Jon to help his family out. The cost of the seminar is a donation at the door or bring a receipt that shows they donated something to the paypal account you guys have set up. Obviously you guy have already raised a huge chunk of cash but hopefully this will add to it. If you live close by your are welcome to come by and show something or just support the event if you can by spreading the word. I'm not sure if this link to the FB event will work but it is

If it doesn't than friend my FB http://facebook.com/dennis.s.wiseman and I will make sure you get the event flier to spread around. Thank you guys.
This is all so amazing, it's incredible to see how much this family can make a difference when we all throw in just 5 or 10 bucks.
Let's keep this up as long as possible :)
OK I have some goodies to add to the raffle:
#1: Fit to Fight (Strength & Conditioning for MMA) by Jason Ferruggia - Book
#2: Title Shot: Into the Shark Tank of Mixed Martial Arts by Kelly Crigger - Book
#3: The first issue of UFC magazine, autographed by Dana White
#4: A 2009 Topps UFC Round 2 Brock Lesnar Autograph Card
Hope this entices people to buy more raffle tickets to support this great cause!
hope your son stays in tip top shape Jon! best of luck and i'm gonna hit up that paypal fund as much as i can. hope everything works out for you and your family.
I'll drop $10. God bless bro.
Lets keep this at tha top.:cool:
