    Veronica Brill & Poker Community come together -- Charity for paraplegic KL Cleeton

    KL Cleeton is a paraplegic member of the poker community and creator of the software Range Trainer Pro.

    When Veronica put out a GoFundMe for her attorney fees for the Postle case, she stated that any funds she had remaining, or funds she would receive back in the form of a judgement would go towards a van for KL to help him in his travels. These special vans can be super expensive.

    Veronica used her connections and popularity to put together a charity stream for KL on Sunday and brought any many popular poker players on to talk to and/or roast KL and Veronica.

    Their goal was $75k total.

    Bill Perkins said he would match all donations up to $25k.

    People that joined the live stream included:

    Phil Hellmuth, Johny Vibes, Andrew Neeme, Jeff Platt, Ryan Leng, David Tuchman, Bart Hanson, Landon Tice, Brandon Shack-Harris, and many others.

    Johny Vibes put out a tweet that he would donate $5 for every retweet, and was over 1700 retweets before he announced he would be donating $10k

    In less than 24 hours, they raised the $75k for KL to get a van.

    Nice story.

    When some troll hassled KL on Twitter, I offered for him to come on PFA Radio and talk about his experiences as a handicapped poker pro, and he agreed.

    Unfortunately something came up and he couldn't make it, so the appearance never happened. This was like a month ago.

    Anyway, I'm glad he got his van.
