Can Someone PLEASE Help Scott Kowalske!!!

I have nothing but time on my hands and I read a story about a Poker Player who has to be the STORY of the year.

With the Espy's airing Sunday and all the Sport figures in town, someone has to tell them about SCOTT KOWALSKE!!!!!

This guy was an avid hunter, loved the outdoors and apparently ate the Deer he killed. This gave him a debilitating disease that will cost 40,000 for treatment.

Now this Gentleman is losing parts of his body from this disease..His fingers are coming off, his toes and now this dreaded disease is beginning to eat his internal organs.

They were going to have a charity tournament for him at Oceans 11 casino in Oceanside, but it was too small. So the staff contacted Harrahs Rincon and were going to supply all the Dealers and staff and SOMEONE on the Indian reservation let this Tournament die. A small 175.00 buy in for a great cause and it went POOF.

Can you imagine the sickness Scott must of felt. There is so much money in the Poker Community and NOT one person who has some cash has stood up to help.

Scott I apologize to you.. I wish I could help you in someway with my Charity Money we have about 22k.. However the by laws of my 501c will not let me. I also have a board of Directors that say its for Law Enforcement and Firefighters only.

SOMEONE FIND SOME HELP FOR THIS GENTLEMAN.. It is a rare disease that only affects Moose, Deer and Elk and Scott is the first Human known to get it from eating venison.

If anyone can help there is a foundation setup for Scott. Go to cardplayer.com News and click on the story about Scott to get the info...

Totally agreed. How can we get someone to help Scott out....this man deserves help. He's a complete inspiration and if his 'problem' isn't 'big enough' to warrant an event...then, I'm at a loss.

Great post, Scott.

There is a tournament on July 27th 2008 held on Pokerstars to benefit Scott's cause. It is listed in the Private section. Buy in is $22.00. Password to enter is: scottw

Pass this information on to help raise funds for Scott's treatment. Play in it if you can!!!
