Last Minute Notice: Help Bboy Steelo

Hey guys,
I know not everyone is a bboy, but here's a great cause that I felt the need to just pass along. 
Bboy Steelo of the Groovaloos, LXD, and Killa4nia, one of the most respected names in bboying recently underwent surgery for a ruptured brain aneurysm.  Thankfully he is in recovery, but he currently can't work to support his family.  The bboy community has come together and has a massive outpouring of support for him, ranging from Jinjo crew donating 10% of their R16 winnings to his family, to the Groovaloos hosting a Groove night in support of his family. (Video by Pacrim of the event here)  
Now the BboySpot.com is donating 100% of their webstore sales TODAY to his family. So go buy something from their store, be it a dope shirt, hat, headspin beanie, or whatever, to support this cause. 

Click through for more details how to donate to the cause

So please, I urge you, if you haven't already, to support not only a great bboy, but a father and his family as well as they go through tough times.
