Rest in peace Sarah, from a fellow Canadian. Thanks PGI for doing this. Almost at 31,000.

[Bishop Steiner]

31100 AS OF 11:20 usct.

Very pleasing to see.

[Cerulean Knight]

Purchased mine earlier today just before I ran off to work. This was perhaps the easiest buy I have ever done, even though I normally pilot mediums and heavies. Thank you PGI, IGP, and to the community for making this happen. The 23rd shall be a grand "Get'em Good" day for me and many others in Sarah's honor.

Don't even play MWO and I got the 'mech. Don't worry Sarah, with all these pointy headed Jenners around those baddies won't cause your daddy any trouble at all.

[ARCTICF0X]

Life is precious... thank you for reminding me...

[Octomus Primus]

Purchased. Tears..and all.

[MayhemStrider]

Rest in peace little lady, we'll all honor you every day on our digital battlefield.

[LightSeibaa]

This is a wonderful thing to do, and the outpouring of support from the MWO community at large is a terrific thing to see! You guys are ALL awesome!

Our hearts and prayers go out to Sarah's family. I'm so sorry.

Got home this evening and saw this had appeared. Took all of 30 seconds to get out the card and buy this in Sarahs honor. Tears and all.

Good job PGI, amazing support community.

70$ away from 32000$ Absolutely amazing all of yout

"Get 'em good"

Damn it...tears again...

[RFMarine]

yeah yeah i know that there are good reasons for it being a champion mech (more XP) rather than it being a hero mech (more cbills), but I would still prefer cbills over XP since I need to spend real world dollars to use the XP from one mech to another

still, this is a good thing

I'm so happy for PGI pulling through with this... three of my grandparents died to cancer.

I also graphed the course of the donations, I went by what people said the amount was and used their posted date as reference in this thread. I'm not real good with Excel, so the chart is kind of wonky. Bottom scale isn't uniform.

Best $10.00 I have ever spent on a game, thanks.

[mindwarp]

Bought. $32020 now.

[Bishop Steiner]

32500.

C'mon Founders. Even if you have abandoned the game, THIS is worth coming back to support. I might never even take mine out of the Mechbay, but I am totally content with having donated toward this.

[W i l d c a t]

Bought. 3258 donations. Wow!
Get' em good!

[White Bear 84]

32620.. ..imaging the count by the end of August! The 23rd is going to be one hell of a bad day to pilot anything other than this mech!!

[Blackfang]

Purchased. I've lost quite a lot of my family to cancer, I truly hope this will kick it in the arse.

[Matta]

It would be really awesome if all the D(S) buyers drop with it at the first day of release.
