I'm posting this here as I know many of you don't use Facebook but know Brian well from this forum.  The fundraising page has only been live for a little over two hours at the time of posting and yet we've raised over $2,000!

I hope this makes a real difference for Brian, who has given us his time and expertise so generously over the years.

Donated. Best money I'll spend all week.  Get better Brian.

I just donated.  That is just awful about what happened to Brian.

I wish you a full and speedy recovery Brian.  You have been an incredible resource to the Zero community and I truly appreciate all that you have done.

Well done mostlybonkers!
Brian seems like a great guy and many of us including myself would be completely lost without his work on the unofficial zero manual. Only wish I can give more. Thanks for posting.

Well done mostlybonkers!

Thanks alko, and thanks also to everyone who has shown their generosity so far.  It would be fun to beat the target and make this really special.

Most of the credit for this should go to Terry. I simply had an idea and made the suggestion to Terry.  Terry had already been talking to his friends at Zero to see how they can help with regards to supplying Brian with a new bike.  Terry has set up the fundraising page, is administering it and will no doubt end up doing any legwork when the time comes.  Then of course there's everyone who is supporting this campaign.

I'm quietly hoping that this will turn out well for all parties.  It would be cool if some press coverage could be arranged when everything comes together.  I think it will make a great story, create good publicity for Zero, the community and of course help Brian out. We'll all benefit from this in some form and it's something we can be feel good about.  At the very least, I hope it helps keep Brian's spirits up as he goes through all the trauma of multiple operations and the pain.  He said it has been rough.

It's nice to see that 146 people have already donated at this time, in less than 24 hours.

WOOT!  GOAL!!!!!!

WOOT!  GOAL!!!!!!

Will it go over $5000? Or does the campaign end?

I think it'll continue.  There might still be a lot of people who would like to donate and haven't had an opportunity yet.  It'll be interesting to see where it goes from here.  It's entirely up to the community if people feel they want to donate and there's certainly no pressure.

It's a fantastic result and so rewarding to see people rally round like this.

It's over $5000, so it'll keep on going. Sweet! I wasn't sure how gofundme works.
I'll donate more next payday if it's still going.
