I usually wouldn't post things like this but due to it being my cousin my perspectives have changed.

Please have a look at this site >>> www.damianthetiger.co.za <<<<<<

It will explain things better than I can.

Really what I'm getting at with this mainly is please keep Damian in your thoughts and prayers as I'm sure you can image what he's going through at the moment.

Also I am planning on setting up an account over here to raise some funds for his medical expenses.

To put it in perspective they NEED approx R1 Million South African rand, which is roughly €100,000.

€1 is equal to R10!! So every euro will go a long way to help him!!

So if you'd like to help my family by making a donation please contact me via PM or you could contact my uncle directly via the website.

Thanks
John

Hey John I read the site, I wonder if you could set up some kind of screening here for marrow donors, I'd be willing to get tested to see if I am a match and a lot of others would probably be too. I had a good friend who was diagnosed with leukemia right after giving birth to her first child and a donor saved her life.

I Lost a cousin who was the same age as me to leukemia at the age of 25. I'd be willing to get tested too..

We are currently looking into this, Adam. I will be contacting the blood banks next week to discuss with them in more detail, soon as I have anymore info I'll let you all know!

I have to get re-tested early next week to see if I am a match aswell so I'm hopeing for the best !

There are already 8 matches but these are all from abroad so there costs would need to be covered, another reason we are trying to raise these funds.

Gotcha, well if there are 8 good matches then it sounds like the most important thing is the financial support, which I hope work out great I will contribute and I bet a few more around here will too.

 

MODs, sorry to intrude on the forum again.

John, would be handy if you could set up some sort of paypal account to receive donations from people not living near yourself?

Anyway, give me a txt/call and i will be more than willing to donate and test.

Hope for the best,

Matt

Thanks Matt,

I will definatly have a look at paypal in the morning, i was thinking about it earlier but the charges put me off. It will be worth it though so i will get it sorted tomorrow.

I'll give you a call or text tomorrow anyway and let you know whats going on.

Also thanks for pinning this thread, every bit counts!

 

Paypal charges are horrendous. Best thing is set up a bank account and anybody who wished to contribute can do it with next to no chanrges.

 

id say sort out an aib account and bank of ireland account.
then people can phoone transfer a few bob into it

we'd need account no. and sort code i think???????

 

Yea paypal is deffinatly out!

Will be going in to see an account manager guy in Bank of Ireland on tuesday, hopefully I'll get it all sorted then, will make things a lot easier for people to donate.

 

mention the cause and you might convince him to offer a charge free service?
MIGHT.

 

Thanks again for all the support folks, I'v had a few donations so far aswell as a few site sponsors that will be donating a few bit's and peices for auction, all will be revealed as soon as I clear it with others.

Didn't get to finalising arrangements for a bank account but will do soon and I'll post the details on here!

Thanks again
John

 

Good man John. We talked about auctioning some stuff as well. Fairest way as everyone sees the bidding.

 

Hi John, Damian is in my thoughts and prayers.

As soon as you have the bank a/c sorted i will make a donation.

 

Hi All,

Unfortunately Damian lost his battle against cancer early this morning, he's in a better place now IMO!

Thanks again for everyone's support!

It's probably not right to be posting on here at the moment but I have no idea what else to do with myself and maybe this distraction will help me out.

 

Very very sorry to hear that John, my thoughts are with you and your family.

 

Sorry to hear man.thoughts are with all of you.
