In support of our good cause and recognising the contribution of tools, parts and advice towards my engine build I tried to make the total up to a round number, but seem to have missed! Ahh well it's the thought that counts!

Following Gary's very generous top up donation (we will forgive him the maths!) I thought I'd give a little update.....

With further sticker initiatives and generous donations of games (and then charity donations for the games) we continue to swell the funds.

Currently we've raised £18,569.48 from 333 donations

Just wonderful - we will hit £20,000 before you know it.

Thanks everybody

We're over £19,000! Paul (Ferryman) has added a generous contribution from sales of the Grille Badges - even more generous considering he's not covered his costs!

So........

£19,049 by 341 supporters

£20,000 is in our sights!

Top man, forgot about the poster raffle - quite possible the most exciting event I have attended this year.

Cheers for sorting it and for the £115!

I've just posted this on JustGiving and Facebook but for everybody else.....

We're there! Thanks to the generosity of DDK members we've gone over £20,000. I'm touched, I really am. Since DDK started we've raised close to £60,000 for MacMillan. Great ideas from members, people donating parts and helping out, donating their time, donating just because they can. Saying thanks doesn't seem enough but thanks, many thanks Thanks McThanks face.


£20,000 via justgiving alone - wow!

I'm touched (in the right way)

That's amazing, I had no idea the overall sum was so huge.

Who'd have thought such a tiddly group of chums could achieve something so truly significant.

Properly heartwarming :cheers: .
