You may have heard Tyler's story, if you have not, this video speaks volumes:

I was lucky enough to be one of the guys who helped build Tyler's car for him back in November 09. This carshow is close to my heart, I'm not sure if it's ok to post here, but I hope so. If you have any questions you can post them, or email one of the organizers: synssins@gmail.com
thanks for looking.
Open to all makes and models, all proceeds will be donated to the MeritCare Foundation, Roger Maris Cancer Center research. $10 donation per car.
In October 2009, a Pontiac Fiero enthusiast by the name of Tyler Shipman was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer.
He was 18 years old.
Posting on Pennock's Fiero Forum (www.fiero.nl), Tyler asked for some assistance from the community to finish some work on the car.
The Fiero community responded in force. A soldier serving in Iraq saw Tyler's plea, and stepped up to the plate.
3 weeks after Tyler posted on the forum, 25 people from the Fiero community arrived in Tyler's home town of Frazee, MN.
Supported by literally hundreds of people from the Fiero community, the community of Frazee, MN and the surrounding area, these 25 people, along with countless others rebuilt Tyler's car in a marathon 23 hour rebuild.
The entire build was broadcast publicly on the internet with full video, audio and live chat on www.tylerstoy.com. Needless to say, the chat room was hopping at all hours of the day. All of the build videos are still available on that site, along with news stories.
Tyler passed away Feb 14th 2010. A genuine car enthusiast, a genuine person, he will be missed by many.
Help the community and the town of Frazee, MN celebrate the life and memory of Tyler Shipman at the First Annual Tyler Shipman Memorial Car Show, July 23rd, 24th, and 25th in Frazee, MN. Help fight cancer!
All proceeds will be donated to the MeritCare Foundation, Roger Maris Cancer Center research.
Help us spread the word!
