I have been conned into walking the span of the Humber Bridge this Sunday - in both directions - dressed as Santa, along with other fools. Children will be accompanying us as Santa's Little Helpers, wearing elf hats.
All money collected is being given to > When You Wish Upon A Star <, which is the charity that makes dreams come true for children with life-threatening and terminal illnesses, or those who have spent long periods of time in hospital undergoing harsh and painful treatments, sperated from family and friends.
This will help to bring happiness to kids who are suffering, so please - sponsor my silly Santa outfit as I make a complete fool of myself for the best of reasons. Any amount will be appreciated. Donations are to me before or after the event as there isn't a direct method of donating on-line. If you are sponsoring me, please post here saying so, and I will PM you with my PayPal address which you can use to donate. If you don't have PayPal, and old-fashioned cheque will do.
Thanks.
Dougie.

This will help to bring happiness to kids who are suffering, so please - sponsor my silly Santa outfit as I make a complete fool of myself for the best of reasons. Any amount will be appreciated - the average so far from non-family members is £4.00. Payment can be made (commission-free) via PayPal, or by a good old-fashioned cheque. If you are a tax-payer, Gift Aid is available at no cost to you, which provides an additional 28% to each donation.
Thanks.
Dougie.
Hi Dougie,
I'll gladly pay a Pavaritti to know your going to be dressed as Santa and have to do some walking Actually it's the cause that makes me feel this way to be honest, well done
I cannot see anywhere on the site you linked to donate? ... I do have a Specsavers appointment due as it happens
Give us a clue where to look please

Re: Sponsors please? Humber Bridge Santa Walk on Sat 6th Dec
Thanks great - thank you (what the heck's a Pavaritti...?). I have edited my original post - donations are to me as there isn't a direct method of donating on-line. For the purposes of transparency, I will do whatever it takes to verify the amounts collected and the donation. Never trust a Copper.
Incidentally, Gift Aid is available for those donors who are taxpayers - this adds 28% to your donation.
Dougie.

FOOTNOTE: Can everyone who is sponsoring (he says optimistically ) please post here saying so, and then PM me with your name, address and amount for the Gift Aid form. If you don't pay tax, there's no need to give me your address.
Dougie.
Hi Dougie a Pavoritti = a tenner
If you don't mind a suggestion to simplify things, perhaps just send the people who are willing to donate your paypal email address by pm, I'm not sure people are comfortable sending personal details even though I know you can be trusted
If you send people your paypal email we can simply pay into that providing they (as I have) have a paypal account.
Alternatively, if they have no paypal they can as you mentioned, do it your way.
Please pm me with your details and I'll arrange for Pavoritti to be singing his way to your account
Good cause and I hope raise lots at this time of year for the children
MHS...Rob
