bought/got donated about 60 different things, kinky stuff from ann summers shops n stuff..., then put raffle tickets ending in 5 or 0 on the things... put all the other tickets into a raffle box thing... people paid £1 for 5 tickets... if they pulled a ticket ending in 5 or 0, they win the prize matching the number on the ticket.
make sense ????

get a section in the local newspaper and tell people you are collecting money, and lots of people will want to join your cause

yeah i agree with that, specially the sponsered thing, also about the newspaper, the thing is he doesnt want many people to know about it, and still hasn't goten round to telling his parents coz he really doesnt know how to

i'm sure if he told his parents, they would probably want to help out fulfil his wish

yeah everyone (who knows about it) wants 2 help him like. we've told him 2 tell his parents, but he says he's worried how they will take it - i think he's stil comin to terms with it himself, he hasnt known very long

it is up to him what he wants, but at the same time, if it was my boy, I would rather know as soon as possible so I could cherish the time left with him

yeah i agree, i kno his dad well (never met his mam - they divorced when he was young) and i kno that he wud want 2 kno about it, the only problem is persuading him 2 tell his dad. i guess its up 2 him in the end, but we all just want him 2 b happy with what time he has left
