**WAS for ALS Cure**
Hey #WeAreSatoshians!
I work in marketing and advertising, and I also designed the logo for #WAS and the website. For proof talk to MrBrew or click "Contact the webmaster" on wearesatoshi.net, it will send a PM to me here on this site). I hope that gives me some credibility as being invested into this project, and wanting to help make it succeed.
I saw this tweet on our website feed: Tooluthetoo @Tooluthetoo
@WeAreSatoshi lets help Hal Finney
http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2014/03/25/satoshi-nakamotos-neighbor-the-bitcoin-ghostwriter-who-wasnt/I am going to start the ball rolling on this. I am creating a post on our reddit, sending an email to the ALS Association, and starting work on a mini-site to link to/from wearesatoshi.net to serve as a hub for all our community efforts. The ALS cure could be the charity we decide to donate to for the premine, or it could be totally separate. I just want to do this, and I hope others are behind me (please reply to add your support!). I think the cure for ALS is a cause we can get behind, especially considering the story of Bitcoin Beta Tester Hal Finney, who we all know through our mutual friend Satoshi Nakamoto. If We Are Satoshi, we should show our love for our friend Hal and everyone who is afflicted with this debilitating disease. Imagine the happiness we can give to Hal, if we all get together and show him how much we care, and how thankful we are for his service to humanity.
All proceeds from sales of donated WAS or donated BTC will be given to ALS Association
http://alsa.org. We are going to raise as much money as we possibly can over a 3 month period, starting in April, and running until July. The donation will be made with the name Satoshi Nakamoto, and if room is given for a note, it will say "For my friend, Hal Finney."
