Whatever it takes Wil, we're behind you.

Much love to Kris for a quick recovery.

I hope (and I'm sure) the goal will be reached again... and I will definitely try to throw something in. :)

All my love and healing mojo to Kris!

Bless,

Patty :)

I've emailed all of my friends about it, Wil. I am sure that they will be tossing some money in as well. I have to admit, I am really excited for this. It is REALLY nice to see the donation count climbing. Thanks for doing this! I hope Kris has a speedy recovery. She sure has some nice, supportive friends. It's exactly what will get her through!

My best to you and your cause and to the maintained wellness of your friend.

On a semi-related note, today is Henry Rollins' birthday, so your dream is even more odd now.

I donated my shekels this morning, figuring, what the heck, might as well pitch in today instead of going to MacDonalds for lunch.
Now I look and the Wheaton steamroller is up to 4,531 smackers already!
Way to go, WWDN readers!

Email me if you want me to send Kris some healing water from Indian Springs.

With my donation of $5... total is now $4,606. :-)

Every little bit helps, after all. Good luck, at this rate you'll surpass your goal in less than a month!

sweetheart,

i would trust you with my life, for though we do not know eachother on a personal level, you are my hero.......and i hope and pray that it would never come to this but you could trust me with yours....

lots and lots of love and mojo!

Anne & Wil:

I will definitely be contributing to the fund. In 2002 my mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and kidney cancer within eight months of each other. She also had to endure four months of agressive chemo between the two surgeries. I know that it's difficult to know what to do, but trust me - just being there to laugh, cry and hug on is enough for the person who's going through it. Good on ya for doing this. You two are shining stars.

My $10.00 are in the pot! Give each other a big smooch for the joint effort and my thoughts to Kris!

A week ago, Howard Dean asked his supporters to raise $700,000.00 by last Sunday to pay for the costs of campaigning in Wisconson. We raised it in *24 hours* and in the week since then, doubled it. The power of the Internet is incredible when harnessed for good.

I gave to sponsor Wil and Anne, and I encourage everyone to do so, to the best of their ability. Tell your friends and family. Let's get them that $25,000.00 in the next few days, and then see if we can better it. Let's show them what we can do, when we care.

I am compelled by my sophomoricness to point out that the acronym for Team In Training isn't TNT.

Regardless, it is a worthy cause I am happy to support.

Yo, over $5000 now. Sweet.

This cause is very close to my heart, as well. My mom beat Lymphoma, something that might not have happened 25 years ago. Research is key, folks...and you never know when this might touch you or someone you love.

I went to your TNT page, and it had just loaded as my boss walked in, so I shut the page down. When he left ten minutes later, I refreshed, and the tally was 250 dollars higher. You guys rock.

Dear Wil, i love this site, how could my life have gone on so long blissfully unaware!I am a serious Stand by me fan, in fact my friend and i spend hours laughing and quoting bits- usually your lines or Kiefer's! i love being able to have an insight into what you're really like and i'm not in the least dissapointed. i think its great that your raising money to help your friend; i would help if i wasn't only 16 and had no idea how! though I'll send my love and prayers. keep up the good work, you are truly the coolest! Jenn

dude this was so well written. you are an incredible writer. i wish i had your talent...oh...its not one of those posts...ummmm....ok...we're behind ya wil!

What fantastic news that you're both raising so much, so quickly, and for such a good cause. Cancer is something that will touch EVERYONE at some point, either personally or a loved one, and so it us up to all of us to help do something about it.
It's awesome that you're making the most of your reach through the net and your friends and fans to help out! Am going over right now to donate what I can, and then I'm going into work to get my colleagues to do the same. Being Paramedics, we've all seen enough of what this disease can do.
Lis in Aus.

I posted a message on the TNT page and then tried to donate, but Canada doesn't work so please do set up PayPal, I would like very much to support your walk.

Wil,
Your website it not lame. What you've proved is that you are a genuine, caring, loving person...other people respond to those characteristics...that is why so many people are choosing to support you in what you do. To put it simply, we care, because you care. My prayers are for Kris. Peace.
=^)

Thought I would throw in what I could to the kitty. Times are tough all around. So nice to see you two helping others in need. Thank you.

Hey Wil..long-time fan here...Just wanted to let you know that I really admire what you are doing with the fund-raising, I sadly don't have enough money to contribute, but I am spreading the word around. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis, and they have a pretty wide email support group, and I have told them all about it. Good luck.
Love, Joshua

hey wil, i am so glad to hear that you are doing so well! it is sooo great!

good luck with the rest of it! i'll be chipping in! you are both really incredible people.

"I think that's asking you all to put a little bit too much trust and faith in someone you don't even know" We may not know you on a personal level, but i think that all the readers of WWDN would like to think that we are friends on some deeper level. You let us into so much of your life, it is almost as if we do know you. (not to freak you out or anything!)

anyway, i'm going...

take care wil, and good luck with the fundraising and the walk!

rach

Hey, Wil -- keep the link up another week or two; the spouse gets paid next week and I'm going to hit him up for a 20 spot. My mom's in remission from lymphoma (she has to go once a month for blood tests though), so I'm definitely behind you and Anne.

Will put Kris on my personal prayer list...if God doesn't look down and say, "Who the hell are YOU???"

(((Kris)))

Put some $$ in for you. Good luck to you and Anne, and Kris will be in my thoughts. My mother just won a battle with breast cancer, and I'll ask her to spread some of her strength around!

Wow. I think it's gonna hit $7,000 tonight, easy.

Happy Valentine's Day, Wil, Anne, and Kris.

Let's get these fine folks their $25,000, shall we?

Every day I take $5 from my wallet and put it in my college fund piggy bank- times are tight, and money is hard. I wish I had more, but today's $5 went to the cause.

Keep up the great work!

Wow, people. Just wow!

Over $7,000 as I reply to this.

Give my thoughts and prayers to Kris and her family, if she doesn't mind it coming from another unknown face. :) All the best for her and a quick recovery!!

Once I get my check, you will definitely be getting some of it!! And since I trust you, it will be done through paypal.

Yup--almost 7 and a half thousand--nice work. I'm happy to help, and sending mojo to Kris...

Kris went in for major treatments today, and Anne gets to go see her on Monday. We're going to print out all your comments and kind wishes, and take them to her then.

Thank you, everyone. We're over 7000 in less than 24 hours! I can't tell you how much your support means to all of us.

I blogged about your fund raising efforts. I think it is a worthy cause and a great use of your blog to promote it. I hope you stop by and take a look at what I had to say. I'm trying to help out in my own small way. I think if we all pull together we can make a difference.

Your mobilized readers ought to have shirts made up that say: "Force of Wil"

Wow. Did you actually go to that concert? I had the opportunity to go to the one in Hella, but at that point (I was 10) my parents had severely played out DM, so I ended up staying home with a babysitter who turned out to be a Jehovas Witness. She told me all about how the world was going to end, and if you didn't serve God (by being Jehovas Witness and reading the bible, ect), then he would not "save" you. Yes, I was scared shitless, and yes, I cried.

You better fucking believe I went to every DM concert after that, as repentance! Well... all except Exciter... cuz... well, yeah. Not my cup o tea.

I was watching ST:TNG today on Spike and I thought of you and how neat it is that you have this blog. It's a bright spot on an otherwise dreary internet.

I'm very sorry to hear about Kris' condition. This past tuesday, I lost a very close friend to
leukemia. She was 23. So my good vibes go out to you and yours. I don't envy what you are about to face.

A long-time fan and now supporter,
Sarah

Wow! You guys are up to $7561 and it's only been what, about a day? Talk about making good use of your celebrity!

This is wonderful...please, please do set up a PayPal account. That's all I had to say.

Outstanding effort. How refreshing to spend a part of the old Valentine's Day budget on something that really means something. Keep on, Wil & Anne!

Hey wil,

a group of us here are sending out some major 'good recovery' mojo for kris... i have a friend with cancer at the moment and your comment about it being a reminder of our mortality rings true.

the second the paypal gets up there'll be a donation from scotland for you!

jill

I am glad to see others show their love and support with their donations...I have wandered to your site many times and never posted a comment before thought I would now, to say that I enjoy reading your posts! All the best to you in raising money for research! Keep it up!

Best of luck Wil, I'll kick some green your way when the PayPal link is up. Rather you handle the money than get on the mailing list of The Lukemia Foundation. I like to pick and choose where my money goes.

Tally is up to $8,096 now! Woohoo!

Wow. Over $8K now.

Awesome. Gotta love the power of the Internet. Come on guys- wouldn't it be great to help Anne and Wil kick in a $10,000 dollar donation for Valentine's Day? We can do this. We just might, if things keep rolling along the way they have been.

cool. just really cool. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day out there.

Wil,

Give Kris the best from everyone coming to WWDN. My ten bucks came as the contributions were at $8511. It would be awesome if we generated lots more than the $25K you're aiming at: the publicity could have a snowball effect and attract even more folks to the cause.

Kris also needs to know that the docs out there are doing awesome things. I'm sure she's in good hands. My prayers are with her. And, Anne and you, Wil, are super to be supporting here this way, too.

Wil,
I'm international and I dig paypal, I have an acct# with them. So let me know how I can donate to you via paypal and I would like to help out also.
Good luck with everything.

$8641!!! Yeeharr!
Where's this PayPal of yours, Wil, I'm sure the tally will start to shoot up even faster once that's in place.. for us non-USers, it would make it a lot easier!
Lis from Aus :)

Best wishes. Let us know when paypal is up. Good Luck.

Sara

Wow. This really awesome. I'm in Canada, so I'm looking forward to the paypal option so that I can chip in. Great work readers!

I'm a young guy, recently graduated from university, and I don't have a lot of money, but I know that being able to put 10 dollars here or 5 dollars there into a food bank donation, or medical research can make a difference -- and helping out whenever I can just plain makes me feel good.

It's great to see web celebs like Wil use their influence to turn people towards good works like this!

$8,726.00! Woot!

I read Anne's entry and wanted to make one comment. She said that she couldn't donate blood because she's not the right type. Donating blood is a gift you can give to a stranger who IS the right type, however. Just because it can't be used for your specific friend doesn't mean that you should just forget about the idea. Donating blood is simple and safe and can save a life. As a blood recepient myself, I am very grateful to the anonymous donor who gave me a chance to get better. I strongly encourage you to donate blood if you are able and extend help and hope to a larger community. It's obvious that you're very caring people and I don't think you should overlook this opportunity to help. Sorry if this comment has already been made.

And while I'm preaching--consider putting yourself on the National Marrow Donor list. Not as simple as donating blood, but you could give someone with leukemia, lymphoma, and other conditions a second chance at life.

And I did drop some money into the pot. Over $8,000 now. That is so awesome. I hope you blow your goal away.

I have no health insurance right now. I have a temp job where I can be let go at any time. I am about to enter into law school, and I am paying my own way.

I just donated $20.00. Nobody better tell me they don't have the money! :)

This Valentine's Day is the first one where I wasn't frightened that my boyfriend would end up in the hospital, full of radiation. Though it's a different kind of cancer, I feel I have to donate to thank God and everyone who helped him and a very shaken me through that time. My love to Kris AND her husband and children.

Wil & Anne--
I just ran the Disney Marathon in January with TNT, raised over $5,000, and used PayPal for my online donations-- PayPal has a donations manual you might find handy: https://www.paypal.com/en_US/pdf/donations.pdf

Good luck on the walk!

Wil,
I hope Kris recovers soon. Your web site really does make a positive difference.

FG

I would also trust you Wil. You have been my favorite actor for ever. Everytime someone ask me who my favorite actor is I say you. Ifeel clueless saying this but where is the donation page and what is it for. I want to donate. I was donating to american cancer society but I missed the form for this year. May you please respond to this one. I am sorry I am clueless on this one but I can not find it on this page.

Good Luck on the Avon Walk! Make sure to bring plenty of water and take plenty of vitamins before you go, your wife also. It's a fantastic cause and I'm psyched you raised so much money
AMY

My best wishes for Kris, and for you two for doing this. I really got teary eyed when I saw the total is over 9k. I donated $50 on the 13th, and it was at 6K then. Even if its just a drop in the bucket, I hope that everyone reaches in their pockets and finds something. I'm one of the fark kids, and I'm so glad this was linked. Hopefully everyone from fark put in some. Good luck Kris, you are in the thoughts of many strangers, but we all hope for the best and a speedy recovery! Take care!

Another Canadian who would love to donate, but can't because Ontario isn't a valid state ... please do set up PayPal!

$9,337.00 - woot! :)

Congrats Wil and Anne! Almost at $10K! *does the happy Wil and Anne are raising money for a damn good cause dance*

*breaks out the crystal ball* I predict that you will smash your goal of $25K and set a new personal record. Also, I predict that the money you raise will help find a cure, or at least a very good treatment, for this terrible ailment. You guys ROCK!

I'm another Canadian who would love to donate. Let us know if there is a way we can help.

$9,435.00
Wil is our "own personal Jesus..."

Prayers and love to Kris. With all the love and prayers coming her way there is no way she won't beat this! Wonderful thing you are doing for her and so many others.

wOOt I saw you're at 9,615 $ I am sure it'll be 10,000$ by sometime later tonight.
Another really good thing Anne and Wil are doing !! Yay, Anne !
I hope your freind Kris does well .

Being in the UK, I'm also waiting for the PayPal thing...trust is not an issue as far as I'm concerned. Speaking personally, I may not *really* know you or Anne, Wil, but I know the kind of people you seem to be, and that's good enough for me.

You make me want to be a better man.

fyi:

For international donators for Team in Training -- I emailed them to ask if they accept international donatios and they said:

"Donations from non-USA address are welcome. We are in the process of enhancing our forms but for now you can enter 99999 in the zip code field, select any state and enter your real address in the address lines on the form."
