Hello Again from MaximumPC

Hello Again from MaximumPC

I just wanted to tell you about something we are doing at MaximumPC.

One of our folders (Michael_McCord,_M.D.) which we refer to as Doc, has a beautiful daughter named Elena which is dealing with cancer these days.

I will provide a link below where you can learn more about her.

But first let me tell you more about Doc.

He is 5th in production in the world, just behind AtlasFolder, which many know alot about.

He does all his folding at his home and on his own dime

He is a Beta tester at Stanford

Always a gentleman and impossible to get excited or upset in the folding world.

Staypuff, who has been known to get excited and upset on occasion suggested we Fold for Elena.

As you will read in the link below, that project is well under way and the goal is to make her the top producing folder in the world, or as close as we can get.

We can handle that on our own and are not here to ask you to fold for Elena.

But if those that already have a logon on our forum for the chimp race, or others that would like to create one now, would come over and post in the thread for Elena we would be most appreciative.

Hope for your quick recovery
You go girl
Praying for you

Or however you feel comfortable expressing yourself would be fantastic.

If you could include your team name and where you're located, we can show her it truly is the whole folding world who cares.

Thanks in advance for reading the thread and considering the possibility.

As you probably knew already the gentleman in the first picture with Elena is her Dad and our Doc.

The West Point Graduate in several of the pictures is her brother Brian.

Please allow me to repeat
We are not looking for anyone to fold for Elena and indirectly help the MaximumPC folding effort
That could have been lost in the details above.

I was late posting here because my login had problems
Your admin got me going again - thanks

Great cause, and a few words should not be too much to ask from out team mates.

This is why we fold! Fold on!

Seen this yesterday, wondered when it would make it hear. When I get home I'll make sure we spread the love
This is what it all comes down to

Left a message. It's always sad to see stories like this, but the reason we fold is so hopefully one day we won't have to see them any more.

Likewise. I'd love to believe that it would be in my lifetime, but the sooner we can get all of this protien mis-folding figured out, the greater the probablity that we can achieve some good from it.

I registered and left a note for her as well...hope that many more will do the same, because it's amazing what a little encouragement from the community can do for a person's morale and well being.

Fold On!

Ima break 1 mill in a couple of hours just for her, this is the reason i fold. not for epeen or anythign else

this the point i had to express to my superiors when they asked why do i wanna do this. since we have all this spare hardware just sitting here might as well put it to use helping others
