Donations to a fund in Dan's memory ?

"Bob Sherunckle" gurgled happily, sounding much 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?

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

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

Yes indeed, totally agree.

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

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...

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.

Sorted

Cheers for sorting that out dude.

K3wL, thanks for setting that up.

Don't know if Tim or Derv are in contact with Dan's family, but other than Nom (who poked his head in the other day), it might be worth sending a message to Dan's facebook, as his mate Andy who kept everyone informed of latest happenings may well still check it for any messages - I guess he'd probably be in touch with the family.

That was what I meant. Not the end, end, but when he needed that little more help.

He said himself that it did him a lot of good, and I imagine it helped your folks cope too.

Already done :)

Excellent - thanks for this !
