In our competition / appeal to raise funds for the Charlton Upbeats.
We haven't given this the hard push as it is clear people are either not flush with cash, or are down with all things related to Charlton at the moment. But the Upbeats is a fantastic programme that really helps local kids with Down's Syndrome and it will be a real shame if it cannot continue too far into the future.
Thanks to the 48 people who have contributed £1,465 so far, which with Gift Aid marks up to just over £1,800.
We've just 25 hours left to try and give this a big push.
So if you are in a position to help, know of anyone (friend, boss, company) that supports these types of initiatives, or if you simply want to go halves with a mate to participate then please do so. Its a tall order, but lets see if we can get the contributions up to the £2,000 by noon Friday.
To recap on the comp, we have over a £1,000 worth of prizes to give away (see the stickied thread for details)
You can donate any amount. If you make a minimum £25 donation, your name will be entered in the prizes draw, and entered again for every £25 increment (ie. if you donate £100, you get entered 4 times).
You make your donation here:

Great stuff people, lets keep it going. Can we get to the £2,500 mark ????
Come on, we can do it !!
Back to Fearne Cotton in studio.......
Well that's Fearne Cotton sacked from the Charlton Lifeathon, as the total remains exactly how it was one hour ago
£2,050.
Its clear it needs a mid-afternoon stir to get everyone reaching for their back pocket, so the Lifers favourite sweetheart Rachel Riley has kindly demonstrated for all you guys what to do.
Come on guys, Rachel has agreed to do a sexy dance if we get £100 added to the total in the next hour !!
I'll deliver it at half time ; )
can always donate it to Demelza. Or stick it up-front with Abbott.
I thought of that Large, the trouble is it would have to go to an invidual child or family as a gift (not a major problem)
as my reckoning is Demelza would not be able to accept it because of the fire certificate issues!!
Beaurocracy has finally gone mad.
Well we knew good old Rachel would stir you into action !

Message from Rachel:
Thanks guys, i knew you wouldn't let me down. So here's a cheeky wiggle as a thank you
We started today on £1,465 so lets see if we can raise £1,000 by the end of the day. We're just £255 short.
We'll hopefully have a new celebrity host within the hour
good evening to our evening crew medley of ex-pats, shunned husbands because their wives are watching crap soaps, and general (lack of) social lifers !!

A brilliant late rally from the many people who have contributed today. But we refuse to rest on our laurals as we know with a bit more of a push we can turn than first figure from a 2 into a 3.
So things are starting to get tough. Some of you need breaking, and I'll be honest, its not going to be pretty. That's why Jack Bauer is the best in the business, and that is why he why we patched his cell into our firewalls, and he is now running this operation with immediate effect. This guy does not mess around. You'd better make a donation just to be on the safe side....
My name is Jack Bauer, i'm a CTU Federal Agent but my primary objective for this assignment is to raise money for the Charlton Upbeats programme. And we have less than 24 hours to do that. I need you to do me a favor. I need you to call your boss, or your wife, so you can get clearance to transfer the funds from your personal account into the JustGiving account linked below. Do you understand ? I don't have time to explain right now. I need you to trust me. Right now, this is our only lead. If this doesn't work out then we are left with nothing to go on.
Do you understand me ?
Am i getting through to you ?
DAMMIT !!
