NOTICE OF URGENT SITUATION


I am writing you to ask for your help for a member of the cryonics community, 
William OaC Rights.  William has been involved in the cryonics movement for 
almost 20 years and has written extensively about cryonics subjects which you 
can find on the website of  The Immortality Institute.


William has been diagnosed with extensive small cell lung cancer that has now 
spread to his left leg bone and right arm, his spine and lymph nodes.  His 
doctor says he is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment but 
small cell lung cancer carries a mean prognosis of approximately 6 to 8 months 
life expectancy.  


Some of the things William has helped the cryonics movement with are efforts to 
stop the Arizona legislation against Alcor several years ago.  


William was not able to get his suspension funded at CI before he came down with
this terrible illness and now with time running out, he needs our help if he is
to get a cryonics suspension.


The Society for Venturism is a 501c3 approved nonprofit organization that  has 
helped raise money for cryoncists in the past for their suspension costs.  We 
are now starting a fund raising campaign to raise money to pay for WilliamaC s 
suspension. The amount of money needed will be $28,000 to pay CIaC s costs and 
$2,000 for mortician and transport fees, for a total of $30,000.


I am hoping you will want to help and you will send us a tax deductible check to
help with this project.  If you want to help please make your check out to aC 
The Society for VenturismaC  and mail it to us at 11255 State Route 69, Mayer 
Arizona, 86333.  I will deposit all contributions in the Venturist account to be
used to pay expenses when the suspension takes place.  If the suspension does 
not get done for any reason, all contributions will be returned.  I will keep 
the community up to date on how the campaign is going along the way.


William is a Libertarian.  If he is revived from suspension in the future here 
is what he hopes for:

aC My hope for the future is that somewhere in our universe there will exists a 
civilization whose inhabitants will possess sole dominion over their own lives, 
where every individual will have the ability to recognize and the courage to 
acknowledge reality, and where governments as we know them do not exist.aC 


This is your chance to do something meaningful in the cryonics community, to 
help one of our own who is in trouble.  

Best regards to all,

David Pizer, President,  
The Society for Venturism
