Would you like to own a small piece of LOST history, and support an amazing cause in the process? Thanks to the inspiring generosity of Jorge Garcia, now you have the chance.
WHO and WHY
My very good friend Jackie has a stage 4 brain tumor, at 31 years old. Events like this provide a necessary, fresh perspective. Thus, I have decided to part ways with a majority of my personal LOST collection, as their value is far more important to this cause than to their shelf life in my house. So I am putting them all for grabs in exchange for donations to the National Brain Tumor Society.
In addition, Jorge Garcia and his girlfriend Beth were kind enough to donate an actual piece of the Oceanic 815 plane, just for this cause. I am overwhelmed by their generosity, and tremendously grateful for the extremely thoughtful donation.
