We can all agree Colin has had a festering turd of a year thus far and is in dire need of love, hope and to be turned into a living paint-by-numbers doll. He has been battered around by cancer, first taking his dad, and now he too is face-to-face with this enemy. So, what better remedy than to emblazon his chest with a defiant Odin's God Mask and Nordic Rope Tattoo?

It is a lot of money, so we need your help. This tattoo is so much more than a decoration. It's a symbol to empower him in his battle, and we want help to make it happen FAST! Please help us, chip in whatever you can. It's better than buying flowers and cheaper than trying to feed him - the man is currently a bottomless crevasse! Biggest contribution gets you a front seat to see him get his nipple tattooed - priceless torture in anyone's book!

He means a lot to a lot of us. Let's show him that a massive grin on his face, love in his heart and a masterpiece on his chest is worth a few quid to us. I've bullied him into this, so the page is under my name, not his, but please be assured every penny of this is going to fund this venture. This is incredibly important to Colin, but not quite in his reach - but easily in the reach of the collective who care about him. Help this Geriatric Make A Wish Foundation Kid fulfill his bucket list!

Hey Guys! A massive thank you for all being so generous! It just shows what a lovable maniac Downie is! The goal figure was based on his estimate for getting the tattoo done, so it may be more, so please feel free to keep throwing a few quid in, I won't close the page until we have him in the seat and he's wincing like the big brave viking he is!
