If you win does the prize include a liver transplant?

I really appreciate it. I actually have two reasons to want to go. The first of course is the BDoY competition.

The second is a buddy of mine, Paul Ogg, has a rare form of cancer and did not respond well to chemo and to a stem cell transplant. He is currently traveling to NYC for a clinical trial and it put him in the ICU last week, but he was back there over this weekend. Paul lives in Denver and teaches at the College of Mines there as well as being part owner of Declaration Brewing. He and I met on a homebrewing forum on one of the beer rating sites and we've traded beers countless times. Paul is also a BJCP judge.

His prognosis is not looking good and I am hopeful if I get there in April he will still be strong enough to sit down for a few beers. They have insurance, but the bills are still piling up. I believe they have surpassed their original fundraising goal, but if you feel so inclined or know Paul here is the YouCaring page.

Sadly Paul passed away today. His YouCaring page is still accepting donations for the family.

I saw a USA Today article on him after reading the this. We all lost a little today. He was someone I would have liked to talk to over a beer. Sorry for your loss, as it sounds like you had a few beers with him

Thanks for all the votes. Got the nod last night. Not sure of everything, but I believe the competition will be at Wynkoop on October 5 in the evening.
