EDIT: I love watching the donation number go up every time I refresh the page. I'm very proud right now of the MWO community.

Over 1600 people have contributed. The original poll thread only had 1500 pledges. This is amazingly amazing.

Purchasing once I get home. Will be one of the easiest purchases I will ever make.

Also... The load out will never change. It will stay as is.

A message to all you My Little Pony lovers out there. Just because I have rainbows on my Jenner, doesn't mean I've joined your freak show. I'll still target you pony-humpers first!

I love the puzzle design on the inner right arm and the band aid on the left torso is just downright adorable. It even has POW written on the inner right leg, hearts surrounding the teddy bear and a patch stitched on.

I'm in a difficult financial situation right now but I will definitely be getting one (or more ~ ) of these as promised! :excl:

I'll be disappointed at Kotaku and Destructoid if they don't post this news soon. ;)

Edit:

There was this big news about The International 3 (DOTA 2) and WCS (Starcraft 2) bashing heads with both events happening on the same weekend (been reading about it on Reddit for the past two hours) but reading about Sarah's Jenner finally coming out just made me forget about all that completely! ;)

Purchased instantaneously.

My first ever post here on the forums, by the way. Just so moved, and even more moved as I read through all of the preceeding comments. To tell you the truth, I had to stop and actually write my own message because new pages were being added faster than I could read them -- and it is amazing to watch the total donations climbing moment by moment.

Thank you so much to everbody who made this happen. I was moved when I read the earlier post about this project, and it's wonderful to be a part of it now that it's become reality. All units, concentrate fire... Target: Cancer.

Well done.

Saw it, loved it, bought it. I would have done it anyways, but, dude, I am digging the paint job. Who would ever change that??? White with flames, checkerboard, bandaids, unicorns, teddy bears, rainbows and a sharks mouth?!?!?! I thought I liked the gnarly Misery spec paint job the best but, now? No way. This one is much better!

Plus I can totally see a little kid (my son is 6) coming up with this paint. That makes it even more special.

On a serious note: Good on ya, PGI, for doing this. I've spent the last 13 years in the cancer community for various personal reasons. So, yeah, good on PGI and good on all of you. Well done!

That paint job is amazing. I'll buy it as soon as I can. It's really great that the team is able to put this together for Sarah.

Having never played MWO before, I still registered and bought one. Such a small investment for such a great cause. Time to download this and see what it's all about (need to learn how to drive one of these things before I get Sarah's)

It is super classy of you folks to put this together. What I wasn't expecting and which really takes the level of class over the top is the loving care that was put into the mech. I would also never have expected it to be decked out to the gills with a 300XL and great loadout. This effort screams dedication and a labor of love.
