Blog Auction for The Nielson's

Hey Everyone! I am excited to join with the MANY who are hosting silent blog auctions in honor of the Nielson Family.
If you have not heard about their story, Christian and Stephanie were in a terrible private plane crash and are now fighting to recover in an Arizona Hospital. They have four children that are now being taken care of by Stephanie's siblings. My brother Garrett and I went to Provo High School with Stephanie and her sister Lucy. Stephanie started blogging to keep in touch with family, but has now become a "blogstar." Since the accident their has been a huge outpouring of support from not only family and friends, but also her readers and now total strangers.
Our family has been following this amazing story of courage and wanted to help. Thanks to my dad's generosity I am selling these BYU Basketball items to the highest bidder. How this works is if you like something, just post a comment with your bid. I will notify you if you win the auction and then you will donate the money to the Nielson Recovery Fund (go to her sisters blog and click on the blue "donate to nienie" button) and email me the paypal receipt. Then I will send you what you've won. The auction starts now and ends Monday night(9/15-my birthday for anyone who's interested :) at 10:00 pm MST.
Oh ya and if you are a BYU hater (it's cool) or if BYU Basketball isn't your thing- feel free to pass this on to anyone who would appreciate this stuff.
And if we raise $50.00 or $500.00 we are grateful to have the opportunity to contribute to their recovery fund and to show our support. We are inspired by the courage of Stephanie, Christian, their children and the entire Clark/Nielson family.
So here goes... Oh ya and thank you to my rather unwilling model Brock. I told him that people needed to see how things fit- and I'm counting on his smokin' bod to really get the bids moving. :)

THANKS SO MUCH FOR LOOKING- FEEL FREE TO PASS THIS ALONG TO FRIENDS!

i will definetely pass this on. it might be a pain to re-post, but i think it would be easier for bidders to track totals if each item were a different post.
