Story
Last night two of my closest friends were burgled. They lost a laptop, phones and my friend lost his wallet. They're both arty, creative types living hand to mouth therefore they're caught in a bit of a bind without cover for their things.
I'm looking to raise a bit of cash to help them replace the things they lost, not least because phones and a laptop are very important in their work.
This is an unoffical raffle... If you donate a minimum of £5 and leave your details you'll be entered into a draw to win this signed WWE Wrestlemania 25 collectible chair. It travelled back from Houston with me in 2009 and I was lucky enough to get it signed backstage at The Comedy Store in Manchester by Chawn Michaels in 2014 after his show there.
Every £5 you donate gets you another entry so £10 = 2, £15 = 3 and so on. Remember to leave your name so that we can make sure you get your entries.
FAO Collectors... I do not currently have verification or a photo of Shawn signing the chair but I'm going to attempt to get him to authenticate it via his social media. Will report back when that's done.

8 years agoThank you all so much. We currently find ourselves at 68% of our target. Even if we don't raise another penny we'll be able to readily replace the laptop and one of the phones that was stolen. Hopefully we'll hit the target and we can make sure that Ben & Rebecca are back where they started. No more, no less. Plenty of good karma going out to a lot of good people. If you can share this then please do, every set of eyes count and we're not even a week into it. You're all stars.

Click the link. join in if you can and share it if you can't. At this rate we'll be able to replace everything that was stolen by the end of the week. That would be absolutely brilliant.
