80 pounds needed in 31 minutes. Make that 65 in 30 as my kids have just added 5 pounds each (they don't know it yet)!
FINAL UPDATE - KABUL 11 Sep 10 0700L UK time
Thank you everyone - just 165 pounds to go so if you can find anyone else to donate or if anyone wants to add a little more then 4 hours left to hit the goal. Whatever the final total is - it has been a fabulous effort and I thank you all very much - I know Gill, Berry and Mark cannot believe everyones generosity.

Update from Kabul - 10 Sep 10
Thank you to everyone so far. We are in the last 24 hours of the challenge to get the last 2K, by 1200 tomorrow it will all be too late so please give what you can, the RAF BF is a wonderful charity that supports so many serving an ex-serving RAF members, families and dependants.
7 Sep 10 - 2K in 4 days Challenge
After 2 years of selling Northern Exposure - Gill, Berry and Mark of Squadron Prints are in the position to present a cheque for 8000 pounds to the RAF Benevolant Fund. This JustGiving page is a very poor attempt by me to raise another 2000 pounds in 4 days so that they can present a cheque for 10k on Saturday at the Leuchars Airshow.
After everything they do, the support they give to flying squadrons from all over the World and their friendship, I have offered to make this 4-day attempt to elevate the amount to 10k. The RAF Benevolant Fund is a great charity and hopefully you will join me in adding a little extra to add to the cheque that Gill, Berry and Mark can handover on Saturday. They have not asked for this help, just a mad Lenny idea from Kabul as a gesture of support.
