    Wanna help cheer up a youngster with just a few mouse clicks?

    This was posted on our local clubs facebook. Thought we could send him some more love since most guys at the club don't do the interwebs very well.

    "Hey friends and especially shooter friends please take a few minutes and help cheer up Alex. His dad Steven Hall shoots with us at Castlewood Practical Shooters.
    So Alex just had his 20th Surgery here at Children’s Hospital. I typically don’t ask for help or anything but he loves getting cards if anybody would like to send him a free e-card it takes like 3 mins they print it and deliver it to his room.

    All ya need to do is type in

    Jake - thanks for the post - just sent one off!

    C'mon fellas - only takes a minute to do and let's all climb on board and help cheer this young man up! The link Jake posted will take you to a great e-card that is easily and quickly filled out and sent. A kind word of encouragement costs nothing and is one of the nicest things we can do for another person.

    Done. I am praying for Alex to be able to be totally well and that he can romp and stomp just like the other kids do and that he can do what he enjoys doing. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to hopefully bring a little sunshine into that hospital room.

    I dont know much more than what i posted. He is the son of a guy that shoots USPSA and Steel Challenge with us at the gun club I belong to.

    I dont know the guy more than just to see him at the club.

    Sorry for the lack of info, I simply reposted what was posted on the pistol shooters group facebook page in hopes of flooding the little guys "mailbox" at the hospital with cards and bring a little cheer to his day.

    That is cool, what a concept! Too bad all hospitals don’t have this feature!

    Just sent him a electronic "Get Well" card as well ... hopefully he'll get a room full of them!
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
