Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity
On July 15th 2004 my father lost his battle with lung cancer and passed away at the Cheltenham General Hospital. He had already survived cancer 2 decades ealier, but this time it was too much for him. "I will survive this, I will!" are the last few words he said to me. Even to the very end he didn't give up and was determind to beat it. He was still in his early 50s.
Unfortunately I am sure I am not the only person to have lost someone to cancer. It has damanged many families and taken many lives. I would want more than anything to have a cancer free world, but for now all I can do is help raise money to support people with their fight against cancer.
Freeola has kindly pledged an incredible �120 to the charityGreat Ormond Street Hospital
Great Ormond Street Hospital treats more than 90,000 patients each year - children who are suffering from the rarest, most complex and often life-threatening conditions. GOSH provide these children with the best medical care that money can buy. With your donations we can help these children and give them the support they need. We were all children once and it must be terrible for them to go through this. So please if you can, pledge a donation and show your support.
----
I decided awhile ago that I would use the Freeola forum and have a 24 hour postathon. It's a good way to get you all involved and hopefully be more worthwhile than a 24 hour Simpsons marathon. So this Thursday as soon as the day begins I will start my challenge and you can follow my progress throughout the day.
Apart from the odd "stay-awake" at school I have not done anything for charity before. This will be my first fundraise and I hope to do many more in the future (marathons, etc).
If anyone is able to help and sponsor me (even £1 would be generous) please post a pledge in the thread provided. You can pay your donation via Paypal, Postal Order or Cheque.

If you have any ideas or comments or what have you, feel free to leave a reply or email me. Thank you :)

Sounds like a good idea, where are you hoping to get the sponsors from...? Just from Freeola forum members, or are you asking friends / family / colleagues / etc. for sponsorship too?
I'd be happy to be a Mod for an Intelligent Discussion forum if such a thing ever comes about, dunno about how you go about 'signing up' for the job though?
Good luck with it!

Thanks a lot Sibs :D, hopefully friends, family and if I'm lucky, a kind forum member or two.
Oh that's wonderful, okay we just need two more then. There's an application on the main Chat page where you fill it the requestion. I'll help with the descriptions. But one of the mods will have to enter it all in. CLICK HERE.
I wonder if we'd be able to transfer some of the ID threads from here into it once we've got it running.

Tony was here earlier. I'm sure he's still lurking. Perhaps he would be kind enough to let us moderate 2 forums, then I could help with the ID forum too.
The sponsorship thing is a good idea, but if you somehow make it official (not sure how you can prove it) then you'd find more people willing to help...

Not sure how I could make it more official either :(, I could call for one of their fundraising packs but I'd fear it would delay things by a week or two. If people do have doubts about trusting me with donations, I suppose they could always donate directly to the charity instead.

An original RPG, a webcomic, some tutorials, an animation, a murder mystery and possibly a podcast. Some of the things I'll be doing this Thursday.

To summarise, you're going to spam the forum in return for money?
So this is from 12am - 11-59pm Thursday?
I'll no doubt be here during the day to keep you company.

Ah cheers Smedlos knew I could count on you :D
I'm sorry to hear that you lost your father a couple of years ago Machie.
On the days when no GAD is won, we give £30 to the Helen Rollason Heal Charity, which is dedicated to the support of cancer sufferers and to cancer research.
If you complete the 24 hours we will pledge 4 x GADS, i.e. £120 donation, to the Heal Charity for that day, instead of the normal GAD we give away on that day.
Heal Charity
I would prefer not to set up another forum unless the normal criteria are met, but we can provide some promotion for your efforts if you would like us to.

No offence, but posting multiple posts on a forum isn't something a person gets sponsored for. It requires little effort. You're stuck in front of a screen. Your fund raising efforts would be better spent on a more admirable scheme, be it a marathon walk or attempting to break a (tangible) record.
