Want proof that there are still good people in this world?

Tyler is an 18 year-old boy who lives in Frazee, Minnesota, eight miles down the road from me. Two months ago, he was diagnosed with metastatic, untreatable synovial cancer and was sent home on hospice to die.

Tyler's passion was his 1986 Pontiac Fiero car. He was an active member of Pennock's Fiero Forum on the internet, a group of hobbyists and enthusiasts who share a love for the little car, much like the TRF crowd. Tyler was very saddened that he would not be able to finish restoring his car before he died.

This weekend, two dozen Fiero forum members from all over the country are coming to Frazee with parts and restoration skills, and along with local auto body repair and paint shops, they are going to finish his car for him.
