I have received dozens of emails and private messages this year from many of you, curious to find out what special GTPremium Christmas promotion I'll be running this year. Last year, I gave away free months of GTPremium, but this year I am excited to do something very different! From now until 11:59PM EST December 26, 2006, GTPlanet will donate half ($25) of all GTPremium Lifetime subscription fees to the Alzheimer's Association - the leading organization in Alzheimer's research and support.
Why Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's is a heartbreaking disease which affects millions of people every day. It begins with short term memory loss, and slowly progresses until even the most basic mental functions are impossible. Anyone who knows a victim of the disease knows how horrible it can be when loved ones are no longer able to recognize family members, even their own children and spouses. I have first-hand experience with Alzheimer's, after losing my own grandfather to the disease only a few short years ago. It is difficult to put into words how sad it was to watch such a kind, loving, honest and successful man lose the very basic characteristics of his personality. I have also read many posts here from others who have lost family and friends to this disease - I know this is a disease which has affected many of you in innumerable ways.
Why GTPremium Lifetime?
A GTPremium Lifetime subscription provides you with all the benefits of GTPremium for an indefinite period of time, requiring no further payments or fees. Priced at $49.99, $25 will be donated to the Alzheimer's Association, and the remaining $24.99 will be used to fund your subscription. This offer is available to everyone: even if you already have GTPremium, I encourage you to take this opportunity to upgrade. If you have a Lifetime subscription but still want to help, take advantage of our new gift subscriptions and surprise one of your friends!
How do I sign up?
It's very simple - just sign up for a GTPremium Lifetime subscription on this page as you normally would, and the payment will be divided up automatically. After the deadline, I will update this thread to show the total number of money we have raised as a community.
This is the first philanthropic event on GTPlanet, and I hope many of you will be able to take advantage of it this year. Regardless, I hope you will be inspired to "give back" to the world in some way this holiday season. I look forward to continue providing this site for you in 2007, and I thank you for your support of GTPlanet and the Alzheimer's Association.

In three short days, 12 GTPremium Lifetime subscriptions were purchased, raising $300.00 for Alzheimer's research! As mentioned earlier, all donations to the Alzheimer's Association are matched dollar-for-dollar by the Nartel Family Foundation, resulting in a grand total of $600.00!!! Nearly all of these Lifetime subscriptions were given as anonymous gifts to other members in the community, so not only did the money go towards a good cause, but it also helped make many GTPlanet member's Christmas a lot brighter this year.
