God Damn, youngpro is a very known person to uz extreme overclockers =/
Even I have seen his benchmarks... Whatever, I´m here to take your place if you want :rolleyes:
Thanks for the updates, it's good to know how you are progressing. I hope you start feeling better, lumbar punctures/intrathecal injections often leave you with headaches afterwards, but I know you will get through it, caffeine and laying down help ease them (as I'm sure you have been told).Quote:

Fight like hell man! We have a close family friend who has been in remission with leukemia for about 20 years. Please update us all when you are able.
I like your attitude, youngpro. Just don't give up. Ever. That will get you through the roadblock as you defined it.
All the best :up:
Kick that bug in the ass man...don't take no for an answer. May the Force be with you.
Words sometimes don't say how we feel but this little smiley says it better than I can: :up:Quote:

The amount of support he is receiving from the OC community is astounding.
It's incredible to see how much love and support he has from you all, and others alike from other OC sites and forums around the place. Your prayers and good caring spirit can never be quantified and have no limit so keep them coming.
We all know James will be back and benching WR's and kickin subzero a*se again in no time, and to help speed this up i'd like to take this opportunity to inform you of how and what im doing to help.
Myself, along with James' family and gf Sarah have formed a team to walk as part of a fundraiser to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. The organisation helps those like Pro by providing a range of support services to help sufferers get back on their feet, and make their lives a little easier when they need it most. Money raised also goes to researching a cure.
The day after James' diagnosis a news bulletin was released in relation to the fight against Leukaemia. Scientists from Melbourne and Adelaide have discovered a protein on the outside of the immature white blood cells that sends a message prompting the body to create more white blood cells at an infant stage, this is Leukaemia. The discovery of this protein means that science can fight the Leukaemia by stopping the protein from sending the message. This is a huge breakthrough. Scientists believe they will have a drug that will do this with in 5 years. This isnt a cure, but it stops Leukaemia, putting us one step closer to the cure.
Funds raised for the foundation will go towards creating this drug. So i'm doing whatever the fk I can to help get James back.
If you would like to make a donation or read more about the fantastic things the Leukaemia Foundation will do to help James and those alike, please visit Light the Night.
If you would like to join our team (search for team name 'Race Him') or make a donation, no matter how large or small, I encourage you to visit this link: Here it is :) and put a few coins forward for your Extreme Legend.
Your support is massively appreciated.
For a top guy who never asks for anything but offers so much to many, i'd like to say this and i'm sure im not alone:
You're a fkn champ James. You answer all my dumb IT questions at work and home, you help me understand things that just dont seem to make sense, and best of all we have some good laughs together. Get back on your feet mate and we'll be making cardboard cricket gear and smashing 6's in the office again when no-ones around in no time.. Whatever it takes mate. You'll beat this. Never back down, never quit.
Cheers
Thane
I would also like to thank you all for your comments and prayers - I worked with James and Thane and spent many evenings benching with James till crazy hours into the night. Thane and I have been keeping each other as up to date as possible with news and support during these difficult times. It has been very encouraging to see so many people all across the world post their kind comments for James to read.
James is a very strong guy and his determination and will power will push him over this hurdle. We all know that he will be stronger for this set back and he will look back and smile with confidence that he beat this disease - I am confident that he will prove to be an example to so many people who face the same challenge. James has already shown so much strength and bravery since he was diagnosed with Leukaemia and although the race is not yet won, he will continue to press on and we are all right behind him.
Our prayers and thoughts are with him every night - the road may well be rough and narrow but it won't be long before the way ahead will be just like the old times, you will be back home and benching again and I'll be spilling that LN2 all over your feet again! Your friends and family are right behind you James and we wish you all the best that you may continue with the strength and positive attitude that you show - you are an example to us all mate.

Is there some good news about pro ? :)
Well, I'd certainly like to hear him share any news first hand with everyone :)
Last i heard he is in remission and is allowed to go home 3-4 days a week, which im sure makes things a lot more comfortable for him!
I read something on his MSN profile about him returning full swing to benching. :p:
he's been a bit crook
he'll bounce back...just take time with this sort of treatment :up:
Think positive friend :up: I hope you are feeling better.;)
I will pray for him all I can, also I will do a chain... But, for sure, he's going to be better than ever after a good recovery, and that's for sure.
Get well soon youngpro! You are my inspiration for OC ^^
Great to hear some positive news! Will be great to see some benches from pro soon!
great news ;)Quote:

I'm not exactly active here, and I haven't crunched in forever, but this right here has given me motivation to crunch on every machine I can get my hands on.
I've got your back man. You can take this. My grandma took on cancer twice and she's still will us today. No worries :up:
