[ITT: Charitable donations]Skywalker's daughter, Bethany

[bennyboy2606]

Someone host a LAN event, all proceeds go to Bethany

Now thats an idea to raise some big money

 

[Skywalker]

Gilly, applaud your interest and dedication, but have you thought of bringing a major player into the equation?.

Surely, with OCUK input (and negotiated supplier rebate,) a major supplier would happily support this cause for the benefit of all parties?.....and without being cynical, to the benefit of more than just this little girl?!!.




Five year plans only work, if you are still around in five years, and then the money really starts to flow!!

Sorry maybe me just being tired but I dont understand this

 

[aslco]

I didn't get the last bit either. But the first bit sounded a good idea right?

 

[Skywalker]

Yes and no really

 

[bennyboy2606]

I think he means, get a company i.e Asus or someone to help you out if im correct. My thoughts are with you skywalker

 

[syke]

Not sure if thats the best way to go around it tbh.

This is a way for people to show their individual support for Skywalker and his family, allowing some weight off their shoulders and showing that there are many other people out there offering support to him, with their generosity and offering in any which way they can to support him and his family throughout.

He thinks that ocuk crew aka spie should try and get a supplier involved etc. AMD, Samsung, Corsair etc. = big money for publicity but that is taking things way too fast.

OcUK could put a bucke in the store for donations etc.

Donated via Paypal.

Thanks for taking the time to organise this Gilly.

Skywalker, you have my utmost respect for managing to to stay as strong for you family as it sounds you have. Speaking as a parent your posts are heartbreaking, I hope the little the community at OCUK can do to help is enough to make a difference to the quality of life for Bethany, you, and your family.

I'm afraid i'm not particularly eloquent with words but I do want to say you have our hopes, thoughts and prayers.

Just donated straight into the bank. I'll give more once I'm paid.

Good work Gilly.

It is now your responsibility to give her a teddy bear bigger than she is. Its been scientifically proven to be the best kind!

This is also true

Not only scientifically proven, but by tradition as well, and who can argue with that double whammy?

I'll send along a little in the morning. Not as much as I'd like but I'm still waiting for the WMD that obliterate most of my bank account every month to go off on the 1st.

Gilly running total....skywalker tis story is breaking my heart. Thoughts with you and your family, be strong. I will donate tomorrow once I've moved some money around.

Gilly said he'd update in the morning, he's got his own stuff on.

 

["andy"]

[Shotgun_ned]

Sent via Paypal . All the best to her and the rest of you Skywalker, I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through.

Donation sent via paypal just now (01:10am- 30/05/2008).

Please accept my modest donation towards Bethany's Medical Fund.

Your little girl has a fantastic life ahead of her, and what better parents than the compassionate, loving and devoted father Skywalker we have all been touched by in these threads.

I think I speak for everyone when I say our thoughts & love are with you and your family.

Kindest Regards,

James (aka TrickyJ)

I was going to go out tonight, but havent, so Im on my way to donate my beer money. Im sure you will put it to a much better use than I ever could.

See, we may bicker, we may fight, we may shout starries at each other, but this just proves how pointless all that rubbish is. When something truly important comes allong it takes litterally milliseconds for everybody to fall in line and provide the support needed.

Well done guys, good luck and best wishes Skywalker.

(p.s. you MUST buy a teddy bigger than Bethany for her, they are simply awsome!)

Time to find what I've done with my online bank details and make a contribution.

As Lance Armstrong says, unity is strength and and attitude is everything. Stay strong, Skywalker.

Group hug to the OcUK massive

Always the way, major contributors do not bleat on about their donations, let's hope that a major retailer gets involved, along with OCUK, and "we" get a story that appears in the National Press.....it's about time a "good news" story hit the headlines!!.

C'mon Gilly, get your arse (and picture) in the "local news".....we ain't just geeky gits, we care!!...........well, according to the latest reviews, although of course, "we", the majority, would have nothing to do with that Geeky Git everyone calls Gilly.....c'mon seriously, who would want to associate with him?!!


Primne opportunity here fella's, take it whilst it's HOT, That girl needs funds ,and you have the power to make it happen, let's see what you have got!!
