Do you want to make a difference to someones lives, do you want to win some LOST goodies ? Well you have an opportunity to do both.Regular visitors and contributors to LOSTARGs have banded together and put together a fantastic package of items to be given away as part of a fund raising benefit for the Wayman family whose home was virtually wiped away when floods hit Nashville, TN earlier this year. This just adds to the legend that LOST fans have become in being some of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met.

Yes, I've heard about this for a while and told them I would put an article up when they were ready, but the scale of what has been obtained is quite staggering.
Hi Chris by the way ! It's a while since I've put a comment here, kind of sad in a way, but happy that it's for a good cause.
