    We have transported almost 30 children on Angel Trips, a child's final journey on earth before they grow their Angel Wings. My son Liam had his own Angel Trip in May before he joined his sister Saoirse.

    I don't have kids but Sweet Jesus that line about Angel trips is heart breaking

    €50 donated payment ending 8737, if I had more you could gladly have it

    Also fair play Beasty

    €20 from myself and €20 from Mrs Seafields. (ending 2373E)

    While Mrs Seafields was in labour this year I went out to the car for a break (twas tough going i tells ye :pac:) Tony Heffernan happened to be giving an interview to Pat Kenny and was discussing Angel trips. It really had a lump in my throat and gave me a little moment of how am I suppose to protect my pending arrival from everything bad in the world.

    It's a fantastic project and worth every penny they get. And I'm sure all the other projects are too. Fair play to the SSF team again this year.

    Been meaning to donate the last few years but unfortunately never got round to it. I'm not letting that happen this year and will donate as soon as I get paid this week. :)

    Ha. I was going to wait until payday to top up my donation, but I'll make sambos for work this week. Worth it to get a Beasty Bonus.

    So a bit of totting up :)

    I count a total of €2788.50 pledged/donated in this thread (not including people who didn't include the amount in their post, and that's fine :))

    and

    Beasty has a total of 242 thanks in the thread so far :D

    and

    Ficheall has pledged 10% of Beasty's donation, which I make at €900 + 242 thanks = €1,142 which means another €114.2 (to be precise).

    So that brings us to a total of €3,144.70 so far :D

    Great going guys :)

    Any mistakes are my fault :pac:

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Ok things have slowed up a bit so to try make it a bit more exciting, I'm throwing myself at the mercy of After Hours.

    In a time honoured tradition, the highest donation in the next 36 hours (We'll say the cutoff is 12 noon Saturday) gets to choose my Username, as well as my my avatar and tagline if they please. I'll keep whatever they choose until the 1st of February 2015. (Nothing offensive allowed)

    So get donating!

    And be gentle

    My daughter was born in July this year. It's given me an awful lot of perspective on the work these amazing charities do, so I'd like to make up for not contributing as much as I should have in years gone by.

    I'll match whatever Beasty donates + €1.
