501st Terror Australis Garrison is proud to offer charity bracelets to support one dedicated and generous troopers, Paul Wheller (TK-4212,) with the expense of his ongoing medical treatment for cancer. Paul is married with two young children, both of whom have mild cerebral palsy. Tragically, last year Paul lost his beautiful 8-year-old daughter to this disease.

Paul himself is soft-spoken, humble and often eschews the high-profile "glamour gigs" in preference of children's hospital visits or charity events. "Under Imperial Care" fundraiser bracelets are now available in BLACK, WHITE or RED for only AU$5 each plus AU$1.00 postage (International shipping only AU$3.00). Payments can be made via PayPal to djbruce@bigpond.net.au. Please include color preference and shipping address with your order. Every purchase will make a difference.

NOTE: I personally would like to urge all our readers to help out Paul. Buy one, two or multiples of these bracelets. For less than the cost of a "stupid plastic figure" support a fellow collector in need, and really, for less than $20... I think all collectors would want a full set of all the colored bands.
