Re: IntroductionsHi my name is Kim. Everyone that knows me calls me Kimmy. I live just west of Toronto Canada. I was born in polar bear country on a naval base in Churchill Manitoba. It's very far north and usually where all programs about polar bears are filmed. I've been crunchin for a while and am also too lazy to go look My reasons are many. When I was about 20 my friend Cathy died from bone cancer. My mother from lung cancer. My grandmother would have died of brain cancer had she not taken a nasty fall. My grandfather - cancer, my Uncle John - cancer. My cervical cancer was caught and successfully removed early. This past saturday my Aunt died of a rare lung cancer. |

Hi, I'm Andreas, 42 and single. Living north of the 49th and self employed.
Love fishing and hanging out on the water.
Lost too many loved ones to cancer and crunching is just "too easy" to do. The pain of losing someone is what needs to be stopped.
I've got 3 machines crunching and am proud to be a member of this great family. |

Hi,
Im Ed. A retired systems consultant and computer fanatic from Connecticut. I teach seniors the basics, and support a couple of non-profits with Access applications run their operations. I got permission from the town to crunch on their computers at the senior center, and even got an article in the local rag about the search for cures. I take the long view of our research and now crunch Rosetta, although I have done both TSC and Ligandfit. |

Hello - I'm Michael. I am 47 years old, born in Brooklyn, New York and raised on my grandparent's vegetable farm in Westport, Connecticut. I currently live in Antioch, Illinois with my wife and daughter. My father died of lung cancer 5 years ago, his father met the same fate at 49 years old, and I have a 36 year old friend battling lung cancer now. I have known quite a few other people that have been taken by this disease. I only have one computer available to help now, but that will change in the coming months. |

Hey all,
I'm Barbara, I live in upstate NY, but was born and raised in NJ. I work for a large DIY chain store. I am newly single, and have three adult children and one adorable 5 year old granddaughter.
I lost my former mother in law (would be ex mother in law? Not sure about that) to ovarian cancer 13 years ago. A wonderful, vital woman who was the last person I expected to have that happen to. It has stayed with me, it was a terrible ordeal. I just felt like I should try to do something to help. |

Hello team,
I'm Justin, 23 years old, originally from Owensboro Kentucky, moved to Robinson Illinois in 1992. I'm a deputy at Crawford County Sheriff's Department, have been for about 6 months. I have an associates degree in Microcomputer Business Systems and General Studies from Lincoln Trail College. I'm happily married to my wife Kasi (22) and we have a VERY spoiled 4 legged fury human named Napolean (rottweiler). Just so you know, HE'S NOT A DOG! And if you call him a dog, you will more than likely hurt his very sensitive feelings.
I fold for Team Helix on 3 computers, and Team Discovery on 1 machine. I fold because we've all had family members and friends pass away from cancer, or struggle with it. I want to help find a cure just as bad as anyone else, so I'm doing my part by folding. Hopefully some day we will find a cure and get rid of these terrible diseases. |

Hello everyone: My name is David. I'm from Wisconsin. I've also lived in MN for about 3 years while working in addition to graduating from St. Paul College not too long ago. While attending, I majored in a Computer Science related field. ... A cup of cappuccino was a regular occurrence while attending night classes.

Greetings from corn country! My name's Roger. I'm 33 years old and live about an hour south of Chicago with my wife and two sons. My oldest turned 3 this past April 15 (yes, he's a Tax Day baby!), and my youngest is 5 months old. Family and work keep me busy, so I tend to be more of a lurker here. I crunch because of a long history of various types of cancer in my wife's family and my family.
Although I don't post here as much as I'd like, I'm thrilled to be part of Team Discovery. It's great to feel so much a part of something as important as the fantastic work everyone here does day in and day out. |

Hi, My name is Sean. Most people call me Maggs. I crunch for Team Discovery, I previously crunched for UD on my old (now burnt out Dell Dimension L600CX). So I crunch TSC on my Powerbook G4 17". In reference to lilhurricane... you can take the woman from NY, but you can't take NY from the woman . You have to see her in NY she's got guts :0). Lisa pushed me toward crunching for TSC. Thanks Lisa... saving countless CPU cycles from loneliness |

Hi, I am signmeuptoo, AKA Bucky. I am a former electrician/wireman/electronics tech/photonics tech/robotics tech (Yeah, I have done a few different things, and will soon do something even different, phew!)
I like to fish, dream of sky diving one day if I get the nerve and my heart can take it, have a wife and son in the Philippines waiting for me.
I live right now in Middle TN but I have lived in sevarl states from the NE to the SW USA. I dream of winning the lottery, just like everyone, so I could go to school & travel the world & create businesses and jobs for Americans.
I used to play lead guitar and have an eclectic taste in music, primarily love jazz fusion and progressive rock. I am a gadget freak and an XM radio fan.
Cooking is another of my hobbies, I probably should have gone to chef school, but I turned it down years ago, just like music school, heh.
I build my own computers and care about DSLR and my fellow members. |

Didn't I already do this? Heh... Where do I begin? I'm a geek, self made geek, have you. I have way too many computers at home and my wife tells me about it - there is no way to tell by looking at me. I'm just like any other guy when you look at me except for a few things. I am Wiccan and am very much into my religion. I have a few tattoos and I plan on getting a few more. They are spiritual and mean a lot to me. I dedicate my computers to this team because I want so badly to find a cure for these deadly diseases. I want so bad to take every one of the computers in the data-center that I work in and install UD. I have four heating up the guest bedroom right now. |
