Hello, my name is Ryan Malinchak, I wanted to let members of the forum know that one of our own, 'BMX924' aka Victor Wilson was involved in a shooting here in Rochester, NY and was left in the hospital in trauma having to have a kidney, his spleen, and pancreas removed. He survived the injuries, but has been in an induced coma for nearly a week now while the doctors make sure that there are no infections or problems before they can close him up. He will be going in for more surgery this Thursday. He will be out of commission for some time and has a long road to recovery ahead. We will be setting up a collection fund for anyone who would like to help his family to cover the ensuing medical costs. I will post information once it is set up. If anyone wants to send cards, etc. email me below and I can give information to send them to so he will get them. Please send your thoughts and prayers out to him for a speedy recovery.

Thank you in advance
