Mark Etheridge hit by left turning driver

Am I responsible for taxes?

"Donations made to GoFundMe campaigns are usually considered to be "personal gifts" which, for the most part, aren�t taxed as income.

However, there may be particular case-specific instances where the income is in fact taxable (depending on amounts received, use of the funds, etc.), so we recommend that you maintain adequate records of donations received and consult a tax professional to be sure. Because everyone's situation is different and tax rules can change from time to time, we�re unable to give any tax advice.

Separately, there are also times when GoFundMe campaigns are created to benefit a registered non-profit organization or charity. Donations made to those campaigns may be considered eligible for a tax deduction."

Also:

"GoFundMe's fee is 5% from each donation you receive. The payment processor fee is 2.9% + $0.30 per donation. "

Paypal should be the best option , no fees for "family" donations.

If someone would just know what his pp account is.

Usually their account is their email address.

Thanks for that.  Donation sent.

[Scott DeRoss]

I sent money to the email address! Heal up fast! Scott

[dxhall]

How does the telephone number fit into the PayPal payment?  Isn't the email address all that's needed?

[pete roper]

Mark is indeed salt of the earth,  and as mad as cheese which makes him a top bloke in my book. I've spent several hours in his shop and was able to help out with a couple of FI bikes he had that he remains wary of which is a shame.

Chuck, if you work out a way to get some cash to him flick me a PM and I'll transfer you some Pacific Pesos to go to him direct.

Dorcia was just out there 3 weeks ago. Doesn't look like we'll be back any time soon from schedule conflicts between her Kid's family vacation and ours. I wish I was out there to talk to Mark. It would make things much simpler..

[Shorty]

I just sent him some paypal cheese. I hope someone tells him he has some $ in his account 

[canuck750]

Thanks for the PayPal info, I just sent him some get well cash.

I met Mark a couple years ago on the same trip I stopped in to see Moe, both great guys, sadly both have suffered a serious bike accident. Any news on how Moe has been doing?

I hope Mark gets lots of help from the Guzzi family and is on his way to a full recovery!

Someone (not this list) had a video up of Moe out riding, "first ride since the accident", and he looked like he was moving pretty well ....

We have set up a Gofundme campaign for Mark Etheridge. I will person ally ensure that any donated funds go directly to Mark.

Mark's internet skills are... um... kinda like a Guzzi with points ignition and carbs. If you have previously donated via paypal, I will help him access funds that way. Or you can also possibly cancel and resend with this Gofundme campaign. In any case, thank you to the Guzzi community for your support.

Thank you! What I've been waiting for. Just made my contribution.

I posted a link to the GoFundMe on the Moto Guzzi National Owners Club Facebook page.  Hopefully that will generate additional donations.

Happier times out at the South Dakota Nationals.  No better place to break down then in the presence of Mark, Pete & Greg!

I think that's a pre-fight pix.
