More donations to Macmillan on behalf of DDK

Just a note to illustrate the continuing good work that's done by many DDK'ers in supporting our chosen charity: Macmillan.
Much happens quietly - and behind the scenes - but Barry does excellent work in collecting and forwarding funds to a very worthy cause.
A few members have given freely and over £200 has been donated recently.

I gave away my last few DDK keyrings and Jason (JB) as the recipient of one, kindly sent £25 for the cause. Very generous of him.
A few other anonymous cheques pushed that to over £100.
Steve Wright also sent funds (overpaying for a broken mirror I sent him) and increased the total higher.

And then Paul Brewster helped even more.
Paul was building a website and thought some of my photos might help illustrate things.
He agreed to make a donation for use of the images and so the charity benefitted from his generous pledge.
Take a look here if you should need a premium insurance service.

Thanks Paul, thanks Jason, Steve et al. Well done.
If you wish to make a donation kindly liaise with Barry and he can ensure the funds get to the right people.

I hope I'm not accused of hi-jacking this page - but I shall be raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support in March by crewing a 72' former BT RTW Clipper. This is a first for me (I'm not a sailor but a rally driver) so I shall be submitting to a cold, rough, exhausting and physically challenging time on a heaving yacht sailing from Portsmouth to Portsmouth via the Fastnet Rock - in March!

My fund raising page, and further details are on www.justgiving.com/fastnet-challenge.

My wife, Carolyn, is concentrating her fund raising on www.justgiving.com/912 raising funds on the 2012 Cape to Cape Tour in our 912.

All funds will go straight to Macmillan but, if agreed, can be added to the DDK total.
