DAY 100 UPDATE: THE BIG BOSS LEVEL (...eeek!)
This is it guys, the final slog. My gosh it's been a long, boooring, 3ish months, but thanks to your generous support, the total raised for One25 has now reached £300! When you add Gift Aid and Matched Giving from the Lloyds TSB Foundation, the total stands at a whopping £675!
But never fear, I'll be donning my Power-Suit, my Hylean Shield, and my Boots of Smiting (+1), and entertaining you like never before with my blog posts!
But please, please keep up the awsome donations. Tell your family. Tell your friends. Tell all those irritating kids on Call of Duty who repeatedly pwn you with their mad sniper ski11z (you n00b)!
You are making a real difference... thank you!
UPDATE: LEVEL 1 COMPLETE!
Thanks to all of your amazing donations, we have just blasted through the original £125 target! And that's before Gift Aid and matched giving from the Lloyds TSB Foundation. Thank you so very very much!
Now to set some stretch objectives...
LEVEL 2: Knee Deep in Fundraising!
The Lloyds TSB Foundation will match the funds I raise for One25, up to £500. Well, it would be rude not to raise at least £500, wouldn't it?
So once again, please check out the fantastic work that One25 are doing to help vulnerable women in Bristol, follow my (hilarious) daily photo updates on Facebook or Twitter, and please please donate! You don’t have to dig deep (you can dig shallow and often, it’s better for your health), but please do! Oh, and tell your friends - they’d love to hear from you ;-)
Thank you.
As you may know, I have recently been supporting a brilliant local charity – One25. If you havent heard of them, they’re mission is to support vulnerable women in Bristol, and to help them to build new lives away from violence, poverty and addiction.
Not impressed? To put this into context, I’ve probably played some form of video game every day** since I got my first computer (a BBC Einstein) at the age of 6. I really love games!
So, for the next 125 miserable days:
· The world will be overrun with multicoloured ghosts
· Countless tombs will remain un-raided
· Princess Peach will have to rescue herself (for once).
· And as for those Angry Birds… well, they’ll just have to get over it!
I’m aiming to raise £125 over the next 125 days, and I would be very grateful if you could donate some coins (or rotating golden rings). And don’t forget to tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK tax payer.
You can find more information about this really inspiring cause at their website – One25.org.uk.
Thanks for your support.
