To see members going to such lengths is so humbling...... Thank you everyone.
As you would know by reading the thread the surplus money is destined to a charity of my choice and i would like to explain my choice.
The word "charity" is almost a swear word at the moment and thoughts this money would go to save the "Lesser spotted tree frog in Borneo" is hardly a just cause.
But it's not.....
All the money will go to Cancer research UK..... I have good reason for this since my mother died last week from cancer and the very topic has touched many members here past and present.
Other charities like the McMillan or the hospice or even children in need are desperate for money but it's my opinion is to invest in prevention for the future rather than relief for the current victim's.
It's a hard call but i don't want my children to suffer in the same way my mum did...... or your children, or theirs
