Charlie Gard
The parents of Charlie Gard don't want their baby to die. They raised

Lifeboat Foundation always supports those who wish to try the latest
medical treatments (or any other cutting-edge tech).

Google and Microsoft Support
The Lifeboat Foundation thanks Google and Microsoft for their donation
of computing time.
The first thing we have done with this donation is generate the Zcash
vanity address of t1LifeboatfkjDqAWdW4nCaSj2NaJSr1X3E.
Our Zcash holdings are already worth six figures and we expect to be
able to fund a lot of important research once our endowment fund gets a
bit larger.
