Ed007,
Just donated £20 to your crowdfund appeal. Hope this helps and hope everybody can make a donation, no matter how big or small.
Great charity appeal mate, especially as we are fast approaching Christmas.
Hope you reach your target and help those less fortunate than ourselves.
Keep up the good work Bond.
{Ed007's Note - Thank you very much mate, that's really appreciated. I started off at a £250 and was initially only going to run it for the Celtic page, I knew the lads on there would pony up but when I asked Ed001 and Ed003 for permission to do it Ed001 said we should use it as our annual Christmas charity collection which was fantastic.
I'm not very good at being forward in asking people for money (remember ALL our sites raised over £900 for my wife and sisters doing a memory walk for dementia just after their mum died?) so I find it awkward to put it on sites I don't interact with much but I know we're friendly and you'd help if you could.
We actually smashed £500 in 4 days and I ended up with a story in the local press which I was not bloddy happy about.}

Don't be backward in coming forward Ed.
Yes, I remember your wife and Sister's Dementia walk. Another great cause.
As they say, "If you don't ask, you don't get" and when it comes to charity, people are always willing to put their hand in their pocket.
Keep up the good work mate. Every pound makes a difference.
{Ed007's Note - It was just at Mass when the Priest mentioned collecting new or nearly new toys for the foodbank to distribute. I knew I could do something but collecting toys wasn't an option so what was the next best thing. Me and the Mrs don't have any kids so things like that always gets me thinking and I suppose hurting.}

I have 3 kids (all grown up now) and a gorgeous 3 year old Granddaughter.
Every year, around this time, mrs Dags and I go through all the toys they have, but don't play with, and take them to our local Hospital.
They are all in good condition, so the kids at the hospital enjoy them.
It brings a smile to their faces and we get to de-clutter our kids bedrooms ðŸ˜ðŸ˜.
{Ed007's Note - Good stuff, DG, a true gentleman and God bless you and your Mrs.}

Thank you Bond.
The same to you and yours.
{Ed007's Note - (yes)
