Great idea Bryant.

I'm in the same boat. I've never met Mat, but I want to do something to
help and have a mtb frame I was going to sell.

Will post details in a sepatate post.

I've never met Mat, but as with many racers, I have had one of those ugly crashes that easily could have been the life changing sort.
I would like to offer up for sale a 52cm Cannondale Caad5 Frameset...its used and probably only worth a couple hundred bucks, but I will donate every penny to Mat's fund.
If you're interested email me off list...highest bidder takes it and I will make the donation in the name of whoever buys the frame.
