On the 10th April, I will be participating in the Skaiti 24 hours event (http://skaiti.webs.com/) (a Skate Event) organised by Jo Coles to raise funds for Haiti (details and links can be found below). The reason for creating my own donation page is because the company I work for, Electronic Arts (http://www.ea.com), will match the donation total I raise up to £300. (ie. if I raise £150, EA will donate £150, if I raise £400, EA will donate £300) and having my own page makes it easier to keep track :).

So dig deep, even a pound will help in the long run! I am aiming to at least max out the limit, many thanks in advance!

Moved to network news forum so it gets more exposure. Good luck!

I put a little in to get the ball runing (all I had in my pay-pal at the mo). Low in funds at the mo but will add more later

Haven't checked but I guess it be just the donations since the GiftAid is a tax thing.

Skaiti24 was a huge success and massives of fun! I only managed to do around 35 laps but thank you to all who donated, it is much appreciated :). The donations reached £275.37 which EA will match bringing it to a grand total of: £550.74 not including GiftAid. Not too shabby :D!
