Here is the young man that has inspired this figure!
From Lead Adventure Forums and EBay the message about this charity!
This gaming mini was made in the image of our son Jason and his sidekick, Snakie. Jason
was born with a rare genetic disease called Friedreich's Ataxia. This is a degenerative disease that attacks many areas of the body, including the brain, spinal cord and heart. There is currently no treatment for Friedreich's Ataxia and it is a life-shortening illness, so we're trying to raise money for the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA). This organization is our only hope for a cure.
Jason has a quickly advancing case and is losing his ability to walk, see and speak clearly.
He also suffers from heart disease and skeletal problems. Since there is currently no treatment for Friedreich's Ataxia, raising money for FARA is really our only recourse. Jason is a happy boy enjoying a great childhood and we want him in our lives as long as possible!
We are selling Super J minis on eBay, where all proceeds will be automatically donated to
FARA through MissionFish. Aaron Brown of Black Crab Sculpting Studio was kind enough to donate his time and skills to sculpt Super J for us and Forrest Harris of Knuckleduster Miniatures generously cast Super J for us, free of charge. We are very grateful for their help!
The Super J mini comes unpainted and is in the 28mm range (18mm actually cause he's just a
little kid!) on a round 20mm slot base. The one pictured here was painted by Simon of Stone Cold Lead.
For $10, with free shipping, you can get a great miniature for a great cause!
