Heres The deal, Nosceres World gets an average of 70 new visitors a day, if everyone who comes here clicks the donation button over there on the right and donates just £1 or $1 or what ever your countries currency might be, by this time next week we will have raised £470 tax free for Zoes Place Baby hospice thats £2100 this time next month, you get where Im going here? It costs Zoes Place £80,000 a year to stay open and offer support to the children that go there. Just £1 and five minutes of your time is all I am asking.

My Charity Abseil Update

A couple of days ago I made a post about how I was going to abseil off the Transporter bridge in Borough to raise money for Zoes Place. Im still going to do it. On sunday I posted off my registration papers along with a cheque for £10 to cover the fees. Today the sponsor pack was pushed through my door and was sat happily on my key board when I got home from work earlier tonight. After I got my coat off and made a cup of tea, talked with my wife and kids for a bit I opened the pack and read the covering letter. For your entertainment here is part of the letter:

“You will hear from me prior to the event with the time of your abseil; Your Santa suit will be available for collection from the hospice before the event or at the bridge on the day of the event”

The bit of the letter you have just read stopped me dead in my tracks, if its not enough to abseil off a bridge which might I point out has a clearance of 225 ft (69 m) I have to do it dressed like Santa?

As well as the covering letter I was sent I also received four or five sponsor forms along with some information on Zoes Place and how to set up a web donation, which as luck would have it brings my nicely to the blue widget on the top right of my page, the one that says “Just Donate” if you click on donate you will be ported as if by magic to my donation page were you can make a donation (hint hint), strangely enough a vary similar widget thing has appeared on the left side of my facebook page as well, the weird thing is if you click on donate that takes you to exactly the same place..

On Monday night I ordered a pair of sun glasses with a build in video camera on them. If they turn up on time (they better) I am planning to video my decent from the Transporter bridge, then you will see exactly what I saw as I came down, funky ay? Needless to say the video will be po [...]

My WPMU Project

I have heard that it is possible to merge Buddypress with Non WordPressmu themes. There is a post on a forum somewhere were someone has managed to do this. For me this is fantastic news, if it is possible and have desided to test this to see if it is possible. Over on the right side there is a link called “My WPMU Project” I will be using this site to figure out how to do it, this way my main blog site will not be effected untill I get it working and all tests have been done and not killed my blog. Then I will be moving it here.

Im Gonna Jump!

First things first, those of you who follow me on twitter “SORRY” I was moving my posts about and forgot to turn off my auto tweet and accidentally spammed twitter with about 200 tweets in two minutes.. Oops.

Right, down to business. I have volunteered along with a few people I work with to do a sponsored abseil off the Middlesbrough Transporter bridge to help raise some needed funds for Zoë’s Place. ” Zoë’s Place is a home from home for babies who have life limiting or terminal illnesses, special and complex needs to varying degrees”. As they would say.

The company I work for does alot of fund raising for them from selling their greeting cards to dress down Fridays were we all pay £1 to not come to work in dress trousers and collar and tie as well as much more all of which goes to Zoë’s Place. Anyway you should click the link to read more.

For those of you who dont know, this is a picture of the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge, which I will be launching or rather stepping off on Sunday the 6th of December. All I have to do, at the moment is send off the form with a cheque to cover the registration fees and then, once I get my sponsors pack I need to raise a minimum of £100. Easy, you say except for one slight problem, not the raising of the minimum donation but the fact that I am scared of heights and this is a big hight to abseil.

Of course I will keep everyone informed about how things are going. On the day I am planning to do a running commentary via twitter and of course there will be plenty pictures and maybe a video., probably of me squealing like a little pig as I come down the rope.

Anyway, watch this space, oh and if you happen to notice any paypal links popping up around Nosceres World Click it [...]
