Thank you for visiting 1E's Byte Night fundraising page. A brave few of us (aka. the S1EEPERS) will be sleeping under the stars in aid of this great cause on 8th October 2010. The dream team (geddit? - ed) is Suzanne Thompson, Emily Morbey, Richard Cudd, Tara Stewart and Karolina Shaw.
Please dig deep and sponsor us. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Action for Children will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support! :)
Sweet dreams,
The S1EEPERS
