Charity Poker Tournament

[chane]

Hello,

My name is Chane Steiner, I'm the owner of My nephews Braeden (4) and Bronson (2) both have neurofibromatosis (NF) type 1, and as a result have bilateral optic glioma brain tumors. In addition, Braeden has congenital pseudoarthrosis of his left tibia (leg bowing) due to his NF. Braeden has successfully completed 60 weeks of chemotherapy treatments and one day his tibia will likely be replaced with a steel rod. Bronson began chemotherapy treatment on February 27.

We are having a tournament at Full Tilt (and running in a 10k race) to raise money for the Children's Tumor Foundation. You can read more about it here:

I wanted to show everyone some photos of my gorgeous nephews. They are the happiest kids ever and bring so much joy to our family. They will have you laughing your *** off within minutes of meeting them. They're constantly laughing and it's very contagious.

They know very little about the "bumps" on there head, as they call them. Except for their tumors they have EVERYTHING going for them including a very loving family.

Here's the youngest one, Bronson (age 2).





And here's Braeden (age 4) with University of Michigan's Football Coach Rodriguez. (The hospital they go for chemo and other treatment is right on the campus of U of M.)



This is a photo of Braeden at swimming lessons. The "bump" you see in his chest is a port that they surgically inserted so that they could give him his chemo shots easier.

He calls it his "button" and absolutely loves it and loves to show it off. After 60 weeks of chemotherapy, he just recently got it taken out and was very sad about it. The same week, his brother Bronson got his port inserted. He doesn't like his so much right now, but he is awfully young to have it.

Hey, I promised you guys I would tell you when a pro signed up to play with us.


Phil Gordon, Karina Jett and Chris Klecz have just signed up to play and Andy Bloch has agreed to play as well.

I'm waiting to hear back from a bunch of other pros and I will continue to contact them until the day of the tourney.

For $10 you can play against some of the best players in the world AND raise money for the Children's Tumor Foundation. I can't think of a better way to spend $10 - can you?

Sign up now! The earlier the better!

Hey guys,

Phil Gordon, Lynette Chan, Karina Jett and Chris Klecz are already signed up and registered to play!

Andy Bloch and Paul Wolfe haven't registered to play yet, but they have agreed to if they are around that day.

So, 4 pros already! I'm very excited about that, but I'm still going to be contacting more!

There are only 900 spots and so far we already have 22 players registered 19 days before the tournament! As you can see, this one is probably going fill up fast - so get in now!
