There are no words that can be put to a forum thread to describe what I am feeling after waking up and seeing a PM in my inbox. I had to re-read it multiple times.

A forum member here and PJ fan (a true fan in every sense) has gone above and beyond and has MATCHED all funds contributed (and then some) with our Nepal Earthquake raffle fund-raiser: http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/244050/nepal-earthquake-relief-raffle-fund-raiser-grand-prize-winner-announced-and-total-funds-raised

He/She wants to remain unknown. He/She hopes this generous donation to help the people of Nepal inspires everyone on here and then some to do something to help others. He/She waited until the raffle was over so the odds of winning a prize weren't slanted in any fashion. Truly beyond amazing in giving here. A lesson to be applied

Let's all make sure we hear that message and do something today. Every day.

Thank you

    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?
