2023 PSA testing fundraiser: @Tracey and Dean Holden's "Meal Squeal" Challenge

From @Tracey on twitter:
Challenge for this year!!
@deanholdenuk and I will be eating some disgusting dishes 🤮 to help raise money to put on vital PSA testing at The Valley. Pls donate and RT to help us reach the £7,500 target 🙏 #cafc
https://app.investmycommunity.com/campaigns/barry-kilby-prostate-cancer-appeal-7025 MEAL SQUEAL - Tracey Leaburn v Dean Holden raising money for PSA testing Menu Blended mealworms Fruit beetle grubs Fish eyes Pig brains Pig Anus Roasted Crickets

I know a number of members on here have found the testing valuable, either for reassurance or because it's caught an issue that they hadn't been aware of, so it would be good to support this if you can.

    As with last year, to make things a bit more interesting, I'm in for £1 for:
    • every point the 1st team get
    • every goal they score
    • plus an extra £1 if Miles Leaburn scores
    • every clean sheet we keep
    between the day the fundraiser was launched and the end of the Fleetwood game on the 11th of February. However, as there are a lot fewer games this year than last, I'm also going to put in £2.50 for each of the menu items that Tracey and Dean manage to eat without bringing it back up.

    Thanks to Albie Morgan, the initial tally stands at a whopping £1:
    Bolton: 0 points, 1 goal, no clean sheet = £1
    From the looks of the fundraising page just under £2000 has been donated so far, and gift aid takes it over the £2400 mark.
  • Great stuff!  This is Charlton at its best.  I sincerely hope the Pig's Anus is cooked.
  • BUMP .

    Come on you lovely lot ! 

    Tracey need your pennies to help reach her target for the Prostate Testing outlay . 

    Every little helps.

    I can confirm the challenge was completed today and was great fun (for me as a spectator anyway).

    I won’t say too much but I reckon Tracey could handle a stint in the jungle…..but Dean Holden might need to work on his bush tucker trial technique or he might find himself getting a lot of challenges 🤢

    great day, kudos to the chef at Sparrows Lane for making it look mildly appetising even if Tracey’s face tells a different story.

    just to remind you, as fun as this was,  this initiative has saved lives already and this is the aim all along so please give generously if you can so poor old @tracey doesn’t have to foot the bill herself.  My father, who himself survived Prostate Cancer, sponsored the event today so this is something incredibly close to my heart! Just as it is for Tracey

    The Sky cameras were there as was a chap from The Sun and Charlton Tv so keep an eye out on those channels in the next couple of days.

    Link to donate is below ;

    Thanks for the update @Swisdom. I assume it'll be on CharltonTV on Saturday? Hopefully it'll be in the free pre-show slot to get as wide an audience as possible, to help boost donations. Latest check on the fundraising page shows that Tracey is 55% on the way to target, but still has just over £3300 to raise, so it would be good if we could bump it up a fair amount before the testing day next Saturday.

    They request you print off and bring the e mail booking form with the QR code, otherwise your slot will be cancelled. 
    But surely there's no need to print if it's on your phone?

    The same was said last year, I didn’t need it.

    Donated! and a relatively painless process.
  • Any chance there will be a video of this put out soon , I thought it would have been banged out on the day , what’s the hold up 🤷‍♂️

    There's a video of some of it on the Sun story - it was broken earlier, but it's fixed now. My guess would be that the club have agreed to the Sun and Sky having first dibs, and then they'll put out their own coverage later.

    In the video Miles certainly enjoyed watching his Mum suffering! Shows there is good team spirit.
  • Brilliant video clip

    Not sure - I'm nothing to do with it but given the PSA event is on Saturday I expect it will get a push this week

    If you look at the bottom of the form there is a tear off portion for use by the organisers.

    They didn’t use it. I will take it with me, just in case.

    Well that's a bit more like it! The post Exeter tally now stands at £6, although by the sounds it it should be much bigger once the Meal Squeal scores are in
    Bolton: 0 points, 1 goal, no clean sheet = £1
    Exeter City: 3 points, 2 goals, no clean sheet = £5
    The latest standings at the fundraising page are looking much healthier, thanks to a very generous donation from Keith Wisdom (is that your Dad @Swisdom?) and an initial contribution from the players and staff. Over £5300 has been donated, and when gift aid has been added on that leaves just over £1200 left to raise. Thanks to everybody who's chipped in so far.
