Hello Everyone -
   
    Brian McArtney is a member of the ASP Renewals team which I manage, and a friend and colleague to many of you.   It is with an extremely heavy heart that I send this note and fundraiser to each and all of you, not only as Brian's Cisco family, but as loving friends and supporters.
   
    Brian and his wife Carol lost their middle child, Nicholas William McArtney, this past weekend in a two vehicle accident in which all 4 individuals, including Nick, unfortunately lost their lives.  Nick was 27 years old. 
   
    Nick had been living on the east coast in Brooklyn, NY for the past few years, and Brian, Carol, and the rest of his loved ones are in southern California.  Between travel back and forth, and other expenses related to this untimely, heartbreaking tragedy, our team felt it a small but necessary gesture to start this fund to help the family cover some of the costs they will incur over the next few weeks. 

   Any contribution you can make to help achieve this goal is greatly appreciated, and 100% of all contributions (after fees) will be given directly to Brian and Carol to use as they see fit during this difficult time.  I can not imagine what they are going through, and thank you all in advance for anything you can contribute to this family in need.

Thank you again, and please keep Brian, Carol, and the families and friends of all victims in your thoughts.
