Title: Raising Money for Firefly - Signed Rovers Shirt on Ebay
Post by: DaveDRFC on April 30, 2017, 04:20:19 pm
As previously mentioned in the off topic section, I have got a signed away shirt donated by the club to auction off to go towards my London Marathon fundraising for Firefly. I completed the marathon last week in a time of 3:53:25. I have just listed the shirt on eBay and the link is below. All proceeds from the auction after the relevant fees will be added to my total.

£30 Bid Listed. That gives it a start, not bothered about shirt I do not like the design but I do support Firefly and I knew Denise Dunn very well

Cheers, I was hoping to do a bit better, around 3:45 but my training didn't go as well as I had hoped. It's a new best time for the marathon by a massive 26 seconds so I'll take that!

Couple of days left on this if anyone fancies bidding.

It is signed by Butler, Baudry, Alcock, Wright, McSheffrey, Blair, Marquis, Rowe, Williams, May, ATS, Marosi, and Beestin. Plus another 3 I can't figure out but I think might be Lawlor, McCullough and Longbottom.

Sold for £82 I think it was Well Done in getting it. Running too and the amount paid for it, a very worthy cause and you have done brill

£87 in the end, very pleased with that. Think it should be around £80 to go to Firefly once I've paid the fees. I had hoped to raise £500 with my marathon but looking like it will be closer to £800 by the time I've finished.

Following on from a bit of fundraising at work I am now up to £900, so well above my original target of £500. My page is open until July so I'm now trying to push it over £1000. Anybody who is feeling generous the link is...
