Sending get well wishes to owner Paul Allen

Paul Allen has been a great sports figure in the Pacific Northwest for many years now. The man seemingly gets his hands on every opportunity to make the area a better sporting mecca, by putting the teams in the Northwest on the map.

Allen literally has everything. He co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates. He founded Vulcan Inc., and is a chairman for Charter Communications. In addition, Allen has a multi-billion dollar investment portfolio which includes stakes in Kiha Software, real estate holdings, Diego, and over 40 other media, technology, and content companies.

In addition, Paul Allen owns the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders, and the Portland Trail Blazers.

However, sad news was released nearly a month ago regarding the deteriorating health of the Blazers' 56-year old owner. On November 16, 2009, Paul Allen announced that he was undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer that may become life threatening.

While many people will point to the fact that Paul seemingly has everything, cancer can become a sad, tormenting ordeal and the Blazer owner will certainly face his share of obstacles in the coming months.

The Trail Blazer organization welcomes and encourages fans and friends of the team to send get well wishes to Paul Allen in these trying times. With the holidays fast approaching, and the Blazers' season in full swing, please take the time out of your day to send Mr. Allen your heartfelt get well wishes.
