Thank you so much to everyone who contributed in even the smallest way to such a great sum, most especially given the current global economic climate!  As always we've, hopefully, made some difference to many people with this!

The sum collected for 2009 stands at just over GBP 1530 (including Gift Aid).  Well done everyone!  You did a tremendous job and should feel very proud of yourselves!  As of the exchange rate on 17th April, that works out at approximately AUD 3120, CAD 2340, EUR 1730 and USD 2255!

Once again the much talented forcryinoutloud made the following greeting from all the messages left for David before the final total was collected in time for his birthday.  A smaller version was posted to his forum and a link sent to him via Twitter.  We collected a little more after it was made so the total is slightly off.

Best wishes to David and to all those this fabulous sum helps!
