No worries Luciano we still love you. Sh** happens

No need to apologize. Anybody with half a brain figured out where the money was going after clicking on the link. And donated anyway.

:iagree:

It is a non-issue. The whole point of any action here was to show support. I think we accomplished that regardless of where the donation ended up.

It sounds like Lukas is fairly well balanced between optimism and reality.

I will say that the following for consideration.

Anyone who has seen serious illness walks away with a few eye-opening insights.

Physicians are not infallible. Nor do they all consistently operate under the pretense of Hippocratic oath. I have also met several that were outright morons. ha ha

I remember reading about one Doctor who openly admitted that when dealing with a major illness he always gave the harshest prognosis.

If he gave an optimistic prognosis and things took a turn for the worse, the physician and hospital could be open to potential litigation.

So just because someone says something does not make it fact. Nor does everything in the universe work out as expected.

The one guarantee is you will fail at anything as soon as you stop trying.

:tup:

The donation was in support of Lukas, as long as it goes to a cause, I don't care what happens with it. Lukas, my grandfather was diagnosed with brain cancer and given "months" to live. He lived for another 10 years. Never give up, never surrender. Looking forward to that coffee meet in Ottawa brother!

Goal exceeded!!!!

Robert Wadden is a boss for donating $1000.

I donated $100 because I knew it didn't go to Lukas. And I think Lukas needs money too, hence the donation to him for "parts"

Hi friends,

Sorry I haven't been able do much updates as the last several days has been a complete hell. Please give a little more time for recovery so I may update. The Rideau Ride...wow...thank you all for without the support I know Paul would not have made his goal.

In the meantime, Lee do not for one minute blame yourself for the miscommunication. It was all me. And DE, what can I say but thank you...both from me and my family for your unbelievable generosity. I am withouth a doubt know that people who knows you also knows that your generosity is immerserable. THANK YOU!!!!! Also, I don't mind sharing anything at all. It is what it is and if somehow someone benefitted in someway by my disclosure, so much the better. I am forever grateful. I am still fighting any hoping.

Live and love my friends

Lukas

Thanks for the update Lukas

ALL THE BEST WISHES!

Keep up the FIGHT! :tiphat:

As in the bible say "Cast your bread unto waters and a few days it will come back to you"

So I don't care where the money goes for I know down the line it will help other people in need and by God's healing hand through this effort He will touch Lukas and make a miracle to cure him. As you have tried to save others first even you yourself and your family needed the money!

God Bless you brother! No greater love is to give your sacrifice!

Any updates???

I've been talking to Lukas on and off the past weeks. He's now in palliative care. Fortunately he hasn't given up

"I am a realist not necessarily accepting yet as I still have fight. I am not giving up nor will as I know how much it is important to keep fighting for my kids and wonderful wife. FYI we rushed the wedding 2014-06-06..suppoed to be this month just because of this but I look forward to give her a real one. times like these makes you realize what truly matters. if in anyway I can covey that to everyone,i would be very very happy."




I tell you, if Lukas had enough strength he'd be an awesome person to have a mass video chat with. I'm 24, fat as fúck, but for the most part healthy. I don't really have that much stress. I try to keep my priorities in order, (I care about friends and family over anything else in the world. Ex: Anyone who KNOWS me will tell you that like I don't actually care about my car 'it's just a car')

Anyways, Lukas has been dealt a SHITTY hand in the game we call life and his outlook on life is 10000 times better than mine, besides being in physical pain, he really does truly, in the purest form of the word, CHERISH his time on this planet with his wife and children.
REALLY makes you rethink how shitty and meaningless your small term goals are and makes you rethink what REALLY means most, and that you NEED to enjoy life, and time with those who mean the most to you...

Well said man. Everyday we should be thankful for the opportunity to live life one more day and touch others lives.

God bless you Depoint5O!!!

If all Lukas does is teach at least one person that lesson, he has done a lot then.
