Hello Zach
Your story was mentioned on the Bitcoin forum of which I'm a member. Thanks to that posting, I've met you through your lovely video singing Clouds. I'm a member of CaringBridge because I had a close friend who was a Vietnam Veteran pass a couple years ago due to cancer and his wife set up an account here for him. Just coming here brings back fund memories of him. But enough about that.
The following is what's written on that thread dedicated to you: This stuff is just terrible ...I just wish bitcoin could play a bigger role with helping someone like this out ....
Before I precede any further, I want you, and anybody else reading this, to clearly understand that I'm not trying to hawk any product, for Bitcoin is not a company owned by anybody. To hopefully drive that point home, I offer up the following:
http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/pay-another-way-bitcoin/That said, I founded bitcoin100.org, a charitable-type organization with a vision that all non-profits worldwide will never have to pay a processing fee or worry about credit card chargebacks ever again when they accept Bitcoin as their donation option.
Because of you, I will now pursue childrenscancer.org, caringbridge.org, and also Amplatz Children's Hospital to hopefully have them start accepting bitcoins on their respective websites. If they do, approximately $1,300 will be their first donation from Bitcoin 100.
I look forward to hearing more songs from you. Please consider, if you haven't already, putting a CD (if they still make those) together. I would purchase at least 10 copies as soon as it comes available.
I'm 52, and my mom and dad both passed due to cancer. Their favorites songs were Loving You by Minnie Riperton and In the Arms of the Angel by Sarah McLachlan, respectively. I enjoy Lady of Dreams by Kitaro.

Feel free to contact me. I can easily be found via Google if you search for Bruno K and the word Bitcoin (or Phinnaeus Gage).
Peace, bud.
Bruno
PS: I will be posting the above on the Bitcoin forum as well as on the Bitcoin 100 website's blog.
