http://www.rayunderhill.com/In late 2006 our friend, Ray Underhill, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, for which he has been receiving successful treatment. However, as part of his ongoing treatment, Ray and his family will be traveling to California for continued radiation therapy. The travel and medical expenses will be more than what a normal family can afford, and we, his friends, co-workers, fellow skaters, and human beings would like to do what we can to help out in this stressful time. We will be setting up fundraising events, a donation page on this website, and information about eBay auctions and other ways we can help.donate here: http://www.rayunderhill.com/
