Sponsor @Tracey & co - they walked over the O2 for PCA testing - now with added video (p2)

Those of you who aren't following the PSA Testing thread may have missed the fact that @Tracey Leaburn is going to do a sponsored walk over the roof of the O2 to raise funds to cover the additional costs of the PSA testing at the Valley on 19th February. In her own words:
Tracey said:
Hi All,
To raise funds for the Prostate Cancer testing day on the 19th Feb I am going to walk over the O2 with some of the 1st Team players and staff. With a serious fear of heights this will be a real challenge for myself. It will be filmed and when you see who else has a fear of heights I think every pound you have sponsored will be well worth the entertainment of watching us!
please see the link below if you are able to donate. 
https://app.investmycommunity.com/campaign-page/walk-over-the-o2
She's going to be joined on the walk by Jonathan Leko, who is also apparently scared of heights, and Sean Clare for moral support:
Given all that Tracey does to support the team and our links to them, it would be nice if we could return the favour here. A £15 donation would cover the difference between the £10 a supporter will pay for a test on the day, and the actual cost of administering it, but as she says, any amount you can give is welcome.

ETA She's also going to be joined by Corey Blackett-Taylor, Jason Pearce and some 1st Team staff.

    To make things a bit more interesting, I'm in for £1 for:
    • every point the 1st team get
    • every goal they score (excluding penalty shoot-outs)
    • plus an extra £1 if Leko or Clare scores
    • every clean sheet we keep while Sean Clare is in the back three
    between the day the fundraiser was launched and the end of the Oxford game on the 19th of February. If I've got my sums right, it looks like Saturday cost me six quid. :)
    That's just paying for enjoying yourself.  Where're the donations for every goal we conceded, every point we drop?

    That's the point of sponsoring people - encouraging behaviour we want to see by offering to stump up money for a cause dear to their heart. Can you imagine if I followed your suggestions and then Sean Clare scored a screamer of an own goal on Monday night? I'd never hear the end of it.

    Probably a rhetorical question, but is @Tracey one of the best things about the non-playing side of Charlton?  Not meaning to say she's a 'thing', of course.

    A simple answer is NO.


    She's THE best "thing" about the non playing side of Charlton.
    I’ll second that!

    Done. My dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer last month. Fortunately, the prognosis is really good, he has treatment options, and he has excellent insurance which means he has access to excellent care.

    If you have a prostate, please, please start getting exams around the age of 45.

    Before my dad succumbed to prostate cancer many years ago, I attempted to raise money for the prostate cancer charity. So I wrote to many football clubs - thinking that as it was a disease which only affected men, they would be interested in donating a prize to be raffled.

    I was shocked at the attitude of most of the clubs who bothered to reply - most of them were not interested. The only clubs who donated something were Fulham, Plymouth, Liverpool &, rather surprisingly, the Premier League who sent a cheque for £100.

    Nowadays it seems that football & other sporting clubs can’t do enough to support the charity! Sadly it’s come about much too late to help my dad, but I’ll never forgive or forget the meanness of those very wealthy clubs 😡

    I have, but the address on mine was right. Is it just slightly wrong (ie typo or mis-selection from a dropdown box) or horribly wrong? The former's most likely user error, the latter may be a technical glitch on the site. If you'd set up an account on the site, you can log back in to check your details.

    In that case you probably accidentally scrolled up in the address dropdown box while on the page. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far. 
    The walk is imminent and joining me (with Leko and Sean) is also Jason Pearce and Corey Blackett-Taylor, alongside 1st Team staff. I am very lucky to have such great support for a very worthwhile cause. 
    We still need to raise just under £4,500 for our testing day, so please share the link with anyone you know.

    Donated. Great work Tracey and the lads. 

    Just got an all clear from an MRI scan last week after a concerning few months. Still got a high PSA reading due to the Prostate being enlarged which they are considering treating with surgery or continue with meds.

    Best advice I can give is for anyone within the age range is don't think twice about getting tested. 

    Complete bolt from the blue where I was concerned and caught me unawares.
