Great idea, thanks

Thank you for watching and for all your help towards this cause. I did a candle fundraiser and will be making the donation on Thursday as I still need to collect from a couple people, but I was able to raise $260.00 CAD which is about 133.00 GBP last time I checked the exchange. Also if it helps I have found that the lollipop fundraiser is a really good one and I am doing that too, but I wont be making the donation until the end of summer cause I'm gonna keep it open until then. Thanks again!!

I'm glad someone has done a video on YouTube as I wouldn't know how to start. I've started donating the proceeds of what I sell on Ebay to this cause via JustGiving, and I've emailed my friends on Facebook with the link and asked them to donate. I'm also trying to get a fundraising event at the Town Hall where I live so THANK YOU for the fundraising links!

Yes I noticed when I turned the sound on after seeing it 4 times!! lol. Very good choice. To those who don't know, this was James's favourite song. It fits so well to the video too.

Oh you are right, it is just the online total, so people who send in checks wont be included in that amount. So I wonder what they are at so far then??
lilhappygirlhere (March 24, 2008 at 2:47 pm)
I think that as they get the checks they update it on there too cause if you add up all the people's donations that are listed there I don't think it adds up to the amount they have made so far. But I never added it up so not too sure. BTW did you notice I used the song you requested to be used for the next James video? of course you did!! Was a good song for this video too, don't you think?

Yes I just had a look but I will donating by cheque. I am going away to my parents next week and will get them and my family to also donate (god they will love me lol) Then I will send a cheque. The amount on the site, thats just what they have collected on there? There must be more than that what with cheques ect sent in?

Thanks, I am kinda proud. I was using my little thinker and I thought I came up with a good video here. I just hope that everyone who watches it makes a donation. Even one small donation counts. I saw on justgiving all the people who donated and some of the little kids donated the money from their piggy banks. So precious!!

No, your not annoying lol. You do a great job and should be proud. YES, I will be making a donation and will continue to do so as and when I can. I will do anything for James and his memory.
