Sponsorship Plea

[DaveB]

Hi All

As many of you are, have just become or will be parents very soon i am appealing to your good nature on behalf of Rachel, my significant over.

As most of you are aware our little daughter Emma was born 12 weeks early and spent 7 weeks in the special care baby unit at East Surrey Hospital, Redhill, Surrey.

When she left we thanked the doctors and nurses for all their time and help, but now we would like to raise some money to donate to the unit.

To that end, Rachel has decided to shave her hair off in the next couple of weeks and we are both in the process of trying to raise sponsership for her.

Still not used to the idea of having a bald girlfriend, but if it rasies money for other babies that are in the same position Emma was i think i can use to it.

i will of cause post before and after pics so that any of you who do sponser her will see im not trying a quick scam.

Many Thanks in advance

Dave, Rachel & Emma

hi guys

ref sponsership

East surrey Hospital is not registered with justgiving.com so i cant do it this way and they would have to pay to register on the site

we are going to set up an account today for the appeal so if you wish to donate you can do it by direct account transfer ( please pm/e-mail for account details as i dont want to post them on a public forum) or cheque or postal order ( again can supply postal address vis pm/e-mail)

many thanks

Dave

Dave, i've done some fund raising in the past you have to be very careful how you set up the finances. There are tax implications for you and for your other half. And the charities act is pretty strict on accounts set up for fund raising, make sure you do your homework mate.

As an alternative to donating to the hospital how about a charity that works in the same field ?

Also bmycharity is another similar business !

Hi there
Rachel here
Just wanted to say thanks for all the support to everyone who has said they will sponsor me when I shave my head.
To be honest its only 7weeks away now and I'm absolutely bricking it ! But then its only hair, it'll grow back. Who cares if I look like Dave for a while!!!!!
Anyway, hope even more you will find the kindness in your hearts to sponsor me.
Catch you guys later.
