    I've given a donation and wondered if anyone else would like to. Even if everyone passing through gave a £1 it would help towards the fund, and to the chance of giving this little girl a chance of a normal life. Time is running out for her.

    I've put it on my facebook page too. I hope that they reach their target in time. I wonder if Martin would be able to make this a sticky or place in a prominent part of the site so donations could be made. Every little bit helps towards the fund.

    Just re visited the site, and managed to donate £1 for every one of my thankfully healthy children, and a bit extra. I really hope they achieve the goal.

    Hey folks,

    I believe the site has been having a few problems with the volume of traffic on it since Sophie was on the news.
    I work beside Sophie's auntie and they are overwhelmed at the generousity of strangers to sophie's appeal, i believe they now have enough to get her to america and start the treatment, they are not quite at the 500,000 but the fund is into the 400,000 as of this morning,
    Just wanted to let you all know.

    Just been on the just giving website and this is what it says at the top of the just giving page:

    Raised so far: £350,000.00

    At the bottom of their website it says:

    Total raised online:£146,332.00 Offline donations:£1,710.00 Gift Aid plus supplement:£35,629.28
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.

    Thats because the website unfortunatly isnt fully upto date as it isnt coping with the demand of the number of donations there's another page that shows the top fundraisers for sophie and that was the page that showed the figures i was looking it, when you go on today iv just been on and its at 440,000 so still amazing. :)
