Hello Fellow Nerds!
I am posting on behalf of Damien Cote in regards to a 40k Doubles Tournament that he and Christian August are holding at the Winnipeg Games Workshop Store. (All the information is towards bottom)
Here is the info behind the event written up by Damien:
For those of you unfamiliar with who I am or why I am doing this:
Melanie McCloskey was my fiancee who lost her battle with breast cancer last July. We had known each other for 8 years, having met way back in high school. When her cancer went to stage 4 I made a promise to her that I would continue the fight for her.
So last year and this year I have put together a team for the Run for the Cure to run in her honour. I have also become very involved in the breast cancer research area, focusing my studies in systems and synthetic biology and some bioinformatics.
Your donation makes a difference, it gives those of us who work tirelessly day and night the resources for us to develop better treatments and greatly enhance the chances of survival for breast cancer patients. Feel free to ask me about my research in the area, and I can show you some of the advancements we (mankind) have made.
But I don't feel that just asking you for your money is good enough, instead I would like to get people together to have some fun and good times playing games against each other. After all, one of the best methods to prevent cancer is to have less stress. Meeting new people, playing in a laid back non-competitive environment is a great way to relieve stress.
Thank you.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me. If you would like to help or join my team, visit;

Guys I know we like saving money for more plastic crack but I think this is another one of those times where we need to take a step back and evaluate what is more important.
