Donations to a fund in Dan's memory ?

Question

Just a thought.Realistically, I along with others couldn't get along for the funeral.As well as that, I'm sure there will be loads of flowers there.My suggestion.Creatr an account on  in Dan's name.Donate the funds to one of the cancer charities and tick the box for gift aid.They take all sorts of payment including paypal.That way, the money does something useful and Dan's family get to know that we all remember the lad with fondness and respect.Just a thought, that's all.Any input welcome.CheersJohn F

"Bob Sherunckle"  gurgled happily, soundingmuch like they were saying:Donating directly to cancer charities will mean the charity gets more of the money.

As Nom is back about, someone ask him if the family have any favoured charity, maybe the hospice that gave Dan that bit of respite care toward the end, or if there is a children's cancer ward at Jimmies.

I guess most of us, including trying to make it, will put something in.

That works for me.

I've got an old Renault badge somewhere, will that do?

Elder · Answer

If it is a proper old one, ebay it and donate the proceeds.You didn't expect that did you.

Steve Firth · Answer

That sounds like a good idea, just be sure that the charity is one thatthe family approve.

Bob Sherunckle · Answer

Yes indeed, totally agree.If anyone is perhaps speaking to any of the family, they might be able to find this out.

Nom · Answer

As per the other thread : is our preferred charity. They pay for Doctor's Contracts and Medical Research and Equipment, and they make the teenage unit in Leeds bearable (ie, it's equipped with Playstations and stuff). A brilliant bunch of folk if ever there was one.I suspect this will involve someone sorting out a collection, and then posting a cheque - there's not much information on their website...

Nom · Answer

See my other post.Dan was actually at home with friends and family for the entire time over the last year or so. I think the only time spent away was for a couple of days at St Catherine's Hospice in Scarborough last year, when they were learning how to cope with being immobile.
