16.07.2010 | DONATIONS NOW OPEN FOR THE CANCER FOUNDATION - FULL INFORMATION UPDATE
Some of you already know, some of you are about to. My mother died back in 2002 because of a terminal disease, called Multiple Sclerosis. All my life, she was sick and was getting worse day by day without a cure. After a while, it was my and my father's ultimate duty to work hard and make her more comfortable and make her smile even for the tiniest bid. That is also the true reason I became a singer as well, the main reason, as it was one of her wishes.
I know that taking care of a terminal disease is disasterous for a family budget. Constant care, medication, hospital care... After a while, you are deep struck in a puddle of mud, in order to be able to pay the expenses. This project's donation will give what it can to those families so that there will some extra room to make a wish come true for those poor people, kids and so.
Cancer is a terminal disease even though some types are cureable. Terminal diseases slow down when the host is happy, smiling and strong. It should be a part of our concious mind to lend a hand and put a smile on those faces.
Thank you. - Oganalp

Here is the statement of Austin and Chris
" January 21, 2010 was the day that my family was stricken by Cancer. It was not directly nor was it a family member. Instead, it was a 9 year old boy, who had not even experienced a true breath of life. This young man was someone who had the will to fight but not the resources to do it with. He was diagnosed with Leukemia. My sister, who I am very close to donated her Bone marrow to him. Due to this: the boy was free of the hospital and put on his was towards Disney World, where he had his make-a-wish recieved. A couple weeks later, he was back in the hospital. The night of his death, he called my sister and told her thank you. I guess that he was holding on for a chance to thank his Hero. My sister was hysterical, I believe that she thought that she had let him and his mother down. This project is my way to show her, that one person (her being that person) can make all the difference in the world ." - Austin Handle, Second Eden (Founder)
" Both of my grandparents on my mother's side were lost to cancer. My grandmother had melanoma. Eventually she became too weak after treatments and couldn't sustain any longer. She died in 2006. My grandfather always seemed to be in good health. He had symptoms which turned out to be much more aggressive. It progressed very fast and hit his bone marrow. He died about one year after my grandmother. My grandmother on my father's side has been fighting lymphoma for over five years now. She has received many treatments, significantly weakening her. The effects that it has had on my mother are the worst of it. She started smoking again. My parents had relentless arguments. The last years have been downright depressing. Recently they separated. I don't know if it's going to be temporary. At least for the moment things have cooled down. " - Chris Wolak, Second Eden (Head of Development)
This team has spanned across many countries; all for the same purpose. To use our abilities in Game Design, 3D Envoirnments and Writing to raise money and awareness towards a Cure for Cancer. Every donation that this team takes, goes to the St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital and ultimately towards a cure.
" If we don't change the world with this, then, Rest knowing that we did change a child's life; so that he may live his life to the full extent of which people like us have had the ability to. We have given him, Hope, Faith, Strength and a Second Eden." - Austin Handle, Second Eden (Founder)
15.07.2010 | A SCI-FI SOUNDTRACK WITH AN IMPORTANT MISSION
I got a mail several days ago, from a VERY talented development team, working on a sci-fi movie, being based on a game engine. Well, you can call it a c-movie, anyway.
The project itself is very appealing as it being a sci-fi project and the team being very talented but what was more important that, the income, if the team can create any, will be donated to cancer foundations. I will try to update this project with as much info as possible.
What I am humbly asking is, please don't stay silent when it is released and perhaps we may be able to help a few people out there with this disease.
Thank you.
