Hi all,
As you are well aware Motor Neurones Disease is a subject close to the hearts of a few forum members, not least Canman who was diagnosed with it. There has been talk recently by the members of how we can raise money for this fantastic charity.
I never envisaged ZRoadster.org as having much of a future, but more as a temporary home. From the level of positive feedback and encouragement already received James and I have decided to see what can be made of it!
As previously mentioned this site will not require contributions towards costs. The software it's hosted on is free to use. Other than our time, we have NO associated costs.
I have already received gracious offers of funding to help this site, which I have declined. Thank you, you know who you are!
What we propose is that we use this site to raise funds in whatever way possible, making the MNDA our charity for what's left of 2011 and the whole of 2012! To that end I have been discussing what we can provide as a community with Canman to assist the MNDA.
Should the site continue past this point, we can vote for another charity in 2013, or continue with the MNDA.
To make the whole donation process transparent, I will create a JustGiving page in the name of this site. I don't want any money sitting around in bank accounts when it can be put to use.
I will publish further details soon, and perhaps create a specific Charity sub-forum so people can discuss how to generate money, and see how to donate if they want to!
As ever, your comments are most welcome and encouraged.
