The Bit With The Appeal Update…

First off, THANK YOU. Thank you to every­one who has com­men­ted, tweeted, re-tweeted and blogged to raise aware­ness and sup­port for the Wheel­ist­ic­ally “Free Wheel” Appeal; thank you to the celebrit­ies on Twit­ter who have used their high pro­file and army of fol­low­ers to increase the Appeal’s online expos­ure; and a spe­cial big, BIG thank you goes out to every­one that has donated so far. With every penny you’re giv­ing me just that little bit more free­dom — there are no words to express how blown away I am each time I get a dona­tion email. To think that strangers could help me in this way, through ran­dom acts of kind­ness, blows my mind.

As prom­ised, here are the details of the greet­ings cards avail­able, should you wish to pur­chase them:

I know that just blindly hand­ing over money to ran­dom causes can be dif­fi­cult, we live in a cli­mate of ever-worsening fin­an­cial strife and there always seems to be a never end­ing stream of moth-eaten ‘unfor­tu­nates’ with their hand out. I get it, I really do. That’s why I want to be as open as pos­sible: I want you to know that there is a very real per­son that is going to bene­fit dir­ectly from the funds raised. Should you want to know more about me, check out my About Page. Want to know why I’m in a wheel­chair? Here’s where I talk about my dis­ab­il­it­ies, in detail. Curi­ous as to where the funds are going? See both the Appeal page and the blog/back-story.

Where pos­sible, I don’t just want to sit with my hand out — I want to give some­thing back, even if in just a small way. As I men­tioned before, I am selling post­card prints of my pho­to­graphy and self-designed greet­ings cards in order to help reach my goal of the £400 needed for a Free­Wheel™ attach­ment for my chair.

If you don’t feel com­fort­able donat­ing dir­ectly, please con­sider pur­chas­ing some of my work, instead. 100% of the pro­ceeds go dir­ectly to the Wheel­ist­ic­ally “Free Wheel” Appeal.

Kudos and Kisses to Moo, my top-class printer of choice.
