    in the process of emailing extreme sports brands / teams / stars
    already tried a lot of youth orientated bands , problem is , all messages go through their management who have all said no in a flash :(

    If you try Ian Brown's record label as well you may get a signed album from them... I emailed them earlier this year asking if it would be possible for Ian to sign a Get Well card for a friend who's very poorly. They sent back a card and his new album signed with a nice letter. I thought it was brilliant as i'd contacted a few people who signed cards but they were the only ones who sent something extra without even being asked. I would have happily bought an album and sent it them if I knew I would get it back signed.

    Windows has decided to block me from sending any messages as apparently I have violated terms of use. All I have done is emailed companys / celebritys on the email addresses they have asked to be emailed to on their website.
    dont understand how iv broke rules in the slightest
    what a p***take

    Anyway , Lancashire County Cricket Club have offered to send 2 match tickets for the upcoming season :)

    Had to email back from my personal account but ah well.
    its good news on the donation side of things anyway :)

    another piece of good news , one of my Fave Bands " The Futures " have advertised the cause on their facebook page :)

    Have you tried cricket clubs? Our school had a signed bat once from Durham County cricket team.

    Lancashire County Cricket Club have said they will send out a pair of tickets to a game this season :)

    Another vote here for Niall Quinn.

    My cousin and his girlfriend happened to meet Niall Quinn in the street. My cousin had his Sunderland shirt on, so NC asked if he was going to the match on Sunday. My cousin replied that as he was a student money is a bit tight so they won't. NC said thats no problem - he will put some guest tickets to one side for them so they could come and watch the match free of charge.

    So they turned up on the matchday - no tickets. The woman phoned Niall who came out of a meeting extremely apologetic with a couple of tickets for them in hospitality. He had sorted the tickets out but had forgotten to pass them to the gate!

    And after the game, he made a point of finding them again and asking them if they enjoyed the match.

    The Picture has arrived :)
    and I have put it up on ebay.
    I really hope it makes a few £'s as I will have a few more things this coming week to auction off and I hope it makes me enough to get the 5000 leaflets printed.
    sorry in advance if im not allowed to put this here but i feel it is relevant to the post.

    thanks for all your help and advice guys :)
