I transported a heart about 5 hours ago. Found out it was going to a patient I transported a week earlier (where I had my doubts about them even make the ride). I can't stress the importance of donating your organs if you die and also giving blood.

I'll put my money towards the family wishes. Not so some random kid who's never heard of bill can play on a track and then likely take their new skills and guts to the street.

He was wearing a shirt and tie and his riding gloves. His mother was a religious person and told us to go to church more often His family donated his organs, so his bones will provide bone grafts for 150 people, his heart will help a heart attack victim, his veins will help 6 people.

I was worried about explaining the relationship we had. I told her that we've been talking to him every day for the past 10 years but that most of us hadn't met him in person. His mom got it right away, she totally understood.

I'm not donating to a forum's branding effort. None of them were at the service today anyways, just the three of us from what we saw.

Thank you Sean.

Someone is getting an exceptionally healthy Heart.

RIP Bill.

You don't know me, but I am one of Bill's sisters....call me Car.... I think all of you are AWESOME! I am overwhelmed at the amount of posts and replies I have seen... My brother was a great guy, viewing all of these posts/replies just proves that...We all knew he loved riding, and riding, and riding some more... There was no talking him out of it... We all tried.. We accepted it and prayed God would watch over him..We never expected anything to ever happen..

We chose "One Legacy" because organ donation was important to Bill... If you do anything in Bill's honor be a "donor".
Thank you all for your kind words.. My God bless all of you and keep you safe as you ride...

Love you little brother.... Rest in Peace

Seeing your screen name on the end of this thread took my breath away. Thank you. Thank you for coming here - thank you for accepting his passion. We are all so very sorry for your loss. I hope your heart heals.

I completely believe in organ donation. I am a donor, and encourage those around me to be aware of their options and the benefits that can come to the world by choosing to be a donor.

As I wipe tears from my eyes / Thank you, again.

I can't say it better than zoom said...

Thank you and God bless you during times like this.

I have to admit: seeing his username in here made my heart skip a beat. I, too, couldn't say it better than Azoomm already has.

So very sorry for your loss.

The guys/ gals have said it all. Thanks Car.

I don't think I've ever been moved by the passing of an online friend before. And this has been on my mind continuously since it happened. Seeing 101's screen name made me think "Too far Bill, way too far" then I see it's one of HIS family expressing their appreciation to us. Class all around.

Thanks again.

I thought that too.

I'll donate to One Legacy. Are we going to be able to do it through TWFix?

[Trip]

Thank you for coming here, Car. Really appreciate you guys taking the time to respond to us in your time of mourning. I really wish I had gotten to know 101 a lot better and gotten to meet him.

Thanks...

To everyone wanting to give to One Legacy as part of the TWFix donation. Gas Man will be the give to point and he will make the donation for us all. We will be doing this private, so those that either do not want to give or wish their donation to remain private will not have to worry about anything publicly posted.

If you wish to give no matter how large or small to One Legacy through TWFix donation, please send Gas Man a pm asking for his paypal address and he will respond with it. Label the donation as a gift to send it to him, so the money is not hit up with fees. If you do not have paypal, send me or him a pm and we can work something out if you still want to donate.

We will not be releasing who gives what or even who gives period. You don't even have to label your username to the donation, so it can never be tied to you. This is just about giving in Bill's honor to a good organization that Bill supported.
