RIP Lukas -- 6/2/80 - 9/29/14 :(
 

A great friend and forum member called me today and gave me some very bad news.
Im posting this in the general threads so all of us could help.
Zakimak, which is the creator of http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...es-thread.html
He is very sick right now and needs our support. At the bottom is a found raiser for his family.


Zakimak called me today asked for me to post this for him:

" hey lee..it's lukas...I am not doing very well this moment. I am in hospital under palliative care. I am wondering if you would throw up a post on my behalf to sell my zaodster"

" it is a 2010 with 23000 km. manual with bbk and synchro Rev. Comes with rims and p zero 80% tread life. always synthetic.. just went royal purple last change. stored winter always hand washed. additionally will come with splats, ipod interface and secondary radar alarm. I want 33000 for it. Contact # is 613-796-4346"

"and normally I would not do this but if you would throw up a link that my friend doing a ride to support me family that would be great. http://my.ohfoundation-fondationho.ca/Attia "

Oh wow. Hopefully everyone will do what they can. I'm sure all of us know someone who's been in a similar situation. My father passed from cancer when I was 23. He lived 6 days less than 6 months after diagnosis. It was stage 4b when detected so I personally will do what I can to help. Including prayer. Regardless of what god we pray to prayer is proven to help. And let's not forget miracles can and do happen so please don't loose hope. I wish him all the luck in the world.

***donated****

Hey,

Do you know if this website keeps a portion of the donations? I'll donate on the side if so.

Awesome to see forum members donating already. I bought some stuff from Zakimak several years ago and he was a pleasure to deal with.

Best of luck brother!

According to Zak its his friend that set it up and everything goes to his family

Sweet, last question... Why does it sat Paul Attia? Isn't Zakimak's name Lukas?And are we sure it goes to his family? The website says its for cancer research

Was wondering the same. Paul is the friend maybe?

Paul is probably the guy participating in the ride.

Paul is his good friend that set up the fund raiser for his family. He is the one doing the ride, not Lukas aka Zakimak

That's terrible news and I hope the doctors will be able to make him better.

Sending my positive energy.

Very sorry to hear the news. :(

I'd like to wish him a speedy recovery. :tiphat:

I know its pretty soon but .....bump

Donated.

Donated as well. Wishing Lukas a speedy recovery and glad to see he has good friends to support him through these challenging times.

Am bump

We were fortunate when the little lady came down with breast cancer. She is now a ten year survivor.

I wish the best for our forum friend.

Will definitely donate

bought parts of Zakimak, he invited me into his home, we talked cars till night hit then I had to hit the road since I had a 1.5hr drive back to Montreal...

awesome dude...wish him the best!

Currently $835 from the donation goal. Keep 'em coming in.:tup:

Thats awesome, when I donated last night it was like $1500+ away!!

800$ away *****donated again****** almost there guys!

F*** it.

It's for a good cause and good dude (from what i hear)

I will see your donation and raise you again. :tiphat:

Both repped.

Done, god bless him

Only 650$ to go! Think of it as purchasing a "karma" mod. We could all use on of those! Bumpn it up!

"hey Lee thanks for posting....and please send my thanks to everyone for not just any donations but prayers as well...feeling better today:)"

Happy to hear some encouraging NEWS.

Keep up the fight and all the BEST wishes for a healthy recovery.

Hoping he beats this thing before his Z sells. Unless he just uses that as a reason to buy another.:driving:

Currently 739 views and 28 posts. Less than 3% because of people posting more than once. I'm not sure why I'm posting this. It just occurred to me do the math. I guess I have faith we can get this number up. Maybe I'm being naive but this hit really close to home for me. Cancer can go **** itself.

I would certainly pray for him and donate.
He looks Asian I know its not important but be interested on his ethnic background. As I myself is asian decent. Possibly reach out for others Asians for support.

Donated.

Get well soon brother!

Prayers and donations for a fellow forum brother. Get well soon!

Morning bump!

What about a raffle guys??? I have some OEM parts I could sell and donate the money for the cause. Would anyone else be willing to do this??? Luciano maybe you could start another thread for that purpose. I have stock suspension cats hood sways springs exhaust ect. I'd be willing to work something out but if I did that I would prefer that they went to a premium member and one who has a high mileage car and somebody who won't resell just like the freebies thread. Any ideas????

As that is a great idea:tup: a raffle may get too complicated down the line.
I however talking with the guys that host a small car show in my neighbourhood and Friday, Sept 5th is for the import guys. Im hoping they will agree on accepting donations on entry(as they do for all the shows) nd ALL money donated will be going to Lukas' family. It may only be a few $100, but everything helps:tiphat:

OK I guess you're right. I was just trying to brainstorm. I'll post a thread myself with the parts I'm willing to part with and the reason why and criteria ect. I'll make the attempt and we'll see what happens

Donated! God speed to your full recovery!

Donation sent. God bless and hope there is a speedy recovery.

13 years for my wife. We were also fortunate. Prayers for all concerned.

Everyone that has ever gotten anything free through Zakimak's Freebie thread should donate. Even $1 dollar helps.
