Anthony Gowland - Sick Kids Save Point
Hello,
Starting at 8am on Saturday 7th of AugustI played video games for 24 hours solid. Not for fun. Oh no, for charity. You can read more about the whole experience here
http://www.mainlyaboutgames.co.uk/2010/08/sick-kids-save-point-the-aftermath/
But just because the day is done, it doesn't mean the doors are closed to more donations. If you enjoyed that read, and haven't already donated, why not do it now?
To find out more about Sick Kids Save Point visit their site http://sickkidssavepoint.blogspot.com/
And here's some reassuring waffle about this donation page, and how I'm not taking your money and using it to buy a Caribbean island resort:
Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.
edit: Thank you to everyone who has donated so far - an amazing response. I have decided to set my target at a nice round grand. Which means I still need plenty more donations!
