Pins for Keith

Hopefully you remember Keith, a MINI owner and Sales Associate at MINI Peabody that suffered major spine trauma in a diving accident back in the summer.
His family set up a Care For Keith web site, with regular news and fund-raising - from there I recently ordered a Tshirt, which arrived this weekend, along with some “I Care For Keith” pins that I had made up by Pin-City (another MINI owner):

I will absorb the $3+ cost of each pin; hopefully people will be prepared to buy a pin and donate at least $5 to the Care For Keith trust - I hope too that MINI Peabody will carry some stock and collect money for Keith.

I was very happy to read tonight that there is some improvement in Keiths condition … (9/15), he and his mom discovered that he could curl his toes on his left foot on his own … (9/22), Keith regained some small movement in three of his left fingers (pinkie, ring & middle fingers) and slight movement in his left thumb …

We are all still thinking of you Keith - good luck with your recovery.

    Well done, Ian.
    How do I order pins from you?

    That’s cool you are doing something to help! Well done on the pin design. You should put up a paypal link for donations!

    Pin purchasers today included Susan at Essex post office, and Chris, Heather, Joel (2), Gary and Brian at MINI Peabody … there is a display at the dealership now for anyone that want to wear a pin.
