I believe what the people have in mind when asking for a hero mech or something in game is so that they have a way to remember and show their support in the game that she like to play and with a community that she was a part of. By all means go and donate to the cancer research of your choice so that it can better everyone and if PGI does something in this little girls memory, kudos to them it will show us that they are interested in us real people and that they have grown a community of like minded people. If I have to pay something for it then so be it but I would hope that the proceeds are forwarded to either the family or at the very least to the cancer research of their choosing.

My condolences go out to the family at this troubled time in their life. I wish you all the best in the future and remember the good about her and what she brought to your life.

My condolences to your family, I've had several members of my family who have died from Cancer.

I've already made a donation, and would buy a memorial mech in a heartbeat.

I'm so sorry to hear Sarah's life was cut short like this, but I'm betting she knew she was well loved. I've got kids too and I don't know how I'd handle this. Praying for the family and little Sarah.

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put her in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 18:1 - 4



But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 19:14

As a Cancer survivor (Leukemia) and a dad of a 3 year old girl who watches me play MWO, Im all-in on this one. Hero/Champion mech all the way with awesome flavor text on the pilot "Sara" who strafes Jagermech and takes down Atli with the greatest of ease with her streaks......

RIP Sarah.

I'm in on that Hero Mech thing. I do not want to play light Mechs at all, but this one would get one of my mechbays and I would bring it to the field.
I imagine how much Sarah would probably love it, if thousands of players would go to battle in her favorite mech in her memory, and setting a sign for the fight against cancer. If this saves just one single other kid from the same fate, it would be worth it a million times.
Also, PGI, please let 100% of the proceeds go to children's cancer research. I promise to spend a bunch more of MCs on other stuff if you do this.

To those saying "Rather directly donate to Cancer Research instead": Of course you can do that, of course those that read your comments can do that, and it's great if you do.
But think of all the players not reading the forum?
A hero mech in Sarah's name would collect a lot of money also from players who don't read the forum at all, or usually do not donate at all but just would want a Jenner with 3 or 4 missile hardpoints. It would be collecting much more money and therefore do much more good than if PGI just would put up a call for donations and a link to the cancer society. (Also, it would mean free advertisement about the cancer society in gamer's magazines because they would surely report about that move.)

PGI, please also add ECM to Sarah's Hero Mech. Not because i want it but so that even more people buy it and more money goes to cancer research.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I would buy the hero jenner as well. The jenner is my first and favourite chassi. And by the sound of it, she was a promising jenner pilot. Such a shame :'(

Best of wishes, Emily.

There's not much that we can do to take away the pain that is left, only time can do that. But it's important that Sarah is remembered; the best way to do this is to create the Jenner and let it bare her name. Every time we see a Sarah out there, it will be a reminder that our community can pull together to support our own. God Bless little one.

I know folks bash the freemium model of MWO and the constant jeers of Pay To Win, but in this case, I think as a gesture this would be really nice to have a Hero or Champion mech with proceeds going to a Cancer charity. I don't pilot Jenners much at all but I'd certainly do so if the funds went to a good cause.

You would be hard pressed to find someone, especially with this game's older players, whos life hasn't been touched with this f*****g disease.

Give us a "Sarah" mech and donate the proceeds to research. Please. I contribute to research monthly but would be happy to buy a mech to help more. Especially for a 5 year old girl Mechwarrior! Cool isn't even close to an adequate word.

I'm raising a damn heavy glass for you as I type Sarah. My next destruction is in your name.

Requiescat in pace mate.

My condolences.
I cannot imagine the anguish and heartbreak the family must be going through. As a father of 2 young boys, the eldest being 5 and he loves to play 'my 'mech game' with me, my heart and mind shrink from trying to comprehend what the family is going through.

No parent should ever live to see the death of their beloved child.

I am sorry for your loss. Best wishes.

Wesley Norman Clark: MWO, Piranha Games... do the girl a service so we will all remember her... make Hero Jenna, name it after her, donate the proceeds to the cancer association.

I'd buy it

This is just so tragic. So sensless and unfair. How anyone can believe in a God that allows this sort of thing to happen to innocent children is beyond me. My condolences to the family.

Keep in mind that for every Great Good there is a Great evil and while it is easy to blame God for the loss of such a young one, It isnt fair to do so.
