<div>Hi, family and friends. It is with a heavy heart that I share with you Billy will be passing on any day now. I'm sitting here shaking and tearing in his hospital room as I don't even know how to begin writing a message like this. Part of me wants to write just to vent and share the struggle and hardship we have been going through. And yet part of me feels ashamed as we know there are many other people in the world who are also sick and dying. But I write this at Billy's request so here it goes...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What we thought earlier this year to be simply back pain from playing golf turned into a nightmare, and the heavy blow that he has Stage 4 Lung Cancer has changed our lives. Since June he has bravely faced 4 surgeries, 9 treatments of Chemotherapy, 13 sessions of Radiation, with an average of 8 appointments per week.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Billy is fighting for his life in the hospital and maintains a positive attitude throughout the rigorous medical treatment. However, it has come to the point where the doctors have expressed that nothing further can be done for him at this time. We are doing our best to keep him comfortable, but he has more moments of pain and less times being lucid. Although none of us really know when our time is over, anyone would agree that Billy's time has been cut too short. He will pass on just a few weeks shy of seeing his 44th birthday.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During the few minutes when he is conscious, he smiles over to Madison who is sitting on the couch drawing a picture for daddy. We squeeze hands and share a quiet glance, reluctantly accepting he will be leaving me (his wife) and our beautiful, 7-year old, daughter (who of course takes after her mom), Madison. As she asks, "Is Daddy dying today?", the wave of emotions is overwhelming and all I can do is hug her and cry... This brave, intuitive kid beside me who has been silently watching the doctors and nurses help Daddy will hopefully grow stronger from this traumatic experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a respiratory therapist Billy saved lives and helped bring happiness to his patients in their final days. Billy dedicated his life to helping people, and in his time of need, he hopes to receive some of what he has so generously given. He's an inspiration to everyone and his hard work ethic with genuine passion to making a difference is reflected in his thriving team. Billy is truly an amazing person at work and at home. We are so blessed to have him in our lives and know his spirit will continue on in each of us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are very grateful and sincerely touched by the friends and family who have shared their good wishes and prayers. During Billy's final moments, we humbly reach out for support from all of our loved ones. Billy has requested to make a gofundme to be sent to all of you to assist us with this ordeal and make sure we make it through these difficult times...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our family thanks you in advance for your thoughtfulness and genererosity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love,
</div>
<div>Billy, Abegale, and Madison
</div>

Please help Billy

Out of necessity, Sandi will become  his primary caregiver and be unable to return to work once he comes home. <br /><br />In addition to your prayers for Tom, we are asking for you help with a donation towards Tom’s medical bills and ongoing care. <br /><br />Tom and Sandi are a huge part of our lives and our goal is to assist Tom and Sandi and their family by raising $50,000 to contribute to his ICU medical bills and his continued medical care. <br /><br />If you have any questions or would like additional information, please feel free to reach out to me, Denise Baker. <br /><br />All of us that love and care for Tom are extremely grateful for your continued love, prayers and financial support.<br /><br />God Bless!!!

Angela Logan passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, August 31st. Angela was a beloved daughter, mother, and sister. She will be greatly missed not only by her friends and family, but she leaves behind an amazing daughter Imani who she just took to college in the Bay Area. Angela was a kind loving person who helped anyone and everyone. Her positive attitude and infectious smile drew the attention of many. <br /><br />We have created this account on behalf of Angela's family (Sarah Logan - mother, Marie and Jay Logan - Sister and Brother, and Imani Logan - daughter) and for those who worked with her at UC San Diego to help her daughter and extended family in any way they may need.<br /><br /> Thank you

Our collective reach will deepen and broaden with each company, each mentor, and each VC introduction. <br /><br />A ton of prep work is already done.  Mayor Faulconer and the City of San Diego committed $20k.  Many accelerators are on board.  Our local angel investors want this.  Our local venture-backed CEOs are in as well.  We have support from ex-pats in Silicon Valley.  <strong>It’s a community effort, and many key players are all in.</strong><br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/14874727_1481068215.1762_funddescription.png" alt="" width="100%" />Leading the effort is Mike Krenn.  Mike was a founder of Tech Coast Angels, CommNexus and VenturePipeline.com.  He lived in Silicon Valley and loves San Diego.  Mike has been supporting San Diego tech companies for 20 years, and has helped more than 50 companies raise in excess of $100M.  He is in this for San Diego’s future.<br /><br /><strong>This is a Best Practice Approach.</strong><br /><br />Countries around the world have outposts in Silicon Valley, including: France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Czech Republic, China and Iceland.  <br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/14874727_1475111451.4448_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><br /><strong>Not one US city is localized within the tech hub.    Until Now. </strong> <br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/14874727_1481068357.1012_funddescription.png" alt="" width="100%" /><br /><strong>Where Is This Office?</strong><br />In the heart of SF’s tech community.  It has to be.  After deep discussions with 3 different co-working spaces, we selected WeWork for numerous reasons.  This is an opportunity for them too – to import San Diego’s best. <strong><br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/14874727_1475112295.5245_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><br />WeWork Labs: The San Diego Corner</strong><br /><br />We’re 5 desks to start, with room to grow, and growing the community every month.<br /><br />The WeWork global network consists of offices in 10 US Cities and 5 offices in SF, as well as offices in 4 countries.<br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/14874727_1481068493.1135_funddescription.png" alt="" width="100%" /><br /><strong>How does a company get access?<br /></strong><br />Companies apply.  When they are ready, we will match them with a mentor before they go up.   Together, we will identify targets — both companies and investors — and organize a schedule of meetings in advance of travel. <br /><br />Companies can stay in the space for a week, or a month.  They now have a Silicon Valley address.  They have contacts there.  They have a game plan.  They have a network to leverage upon landing.<br /><br /><strong>Fast Forward</strong><br /><br />Think 1-2 years out.  We are going to know what VCs are sincere about doing deals in San Diego.  Equally important – we’ll also know what VCs aren’t.  We’ll know what each VC’s particular interests are, and be able to connect our companies efficiently. <br /><br />We’re going to build relationships with the Corp Dev people at the various public companies – and have that rolodex to leverage too. <br /><br />How great would be if our San Diego companies had a landing pad in the Valley, that could help get them networked – even before they took off from Lindbergh or Carlsbad? <br /><br />The big question really is:  Why have we not done this already?   Just think where we might be if we had started this two years ago. <br />________________________________________________________<br /><br /><strong>Help us help San Diego!</strong><br /><br />We are seeking contributions and founding partners for the new San Diego office in Silicon Valley.<br /><br /><img class="not-resizable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/14874727_1482227562.1313_funddescription.jpg" alt="" width="100%" /><br /><strong>Ways You Can Help</strong><br /><br />Spread the word.  Entrepreneurs, Investors, Supporters of San Diego’s Tech Ecosystem.  This is for all of us!<br /><br />Join the community.  Do you have an employee or valuable contact in Silicon Valley?  Would they like to join the SoCal in NoCal community?  Let us know!<br /><br />________________________________________________________<br /><br /><strong>FAQ’s</strong><br /><br />Q: I want to support this effort.  How do I learn more?<br /><br />A: Reach out to Mike Krenn at San Diego Venture Group<br /><br />Q: Will VC’s just recruit our companies to relocate there?<br /><br />A: The simple answer is “no.”  <br /><br />If these companies wanted to be in SF, they would already be there.  These aren’t companies at the idea stage.  These companies have employees that have roots in San Diego, that want to be in San Diego.  That’s why they’re coming through our channel.<br /><br />In our conversations with VCs — valuations in Silicon Valley are too high and engineers are too transitional.  They have come to the conclusion — it makes sense to build teams outside of the Valley. <br /><br />Even if it were to happen (and it will be rare), the pros of doing this FAR outweigh the cons.
