Charitable donations in memory of Ed/Chelsea1969

I hope MSE doesn't mind me posting this here. So many of you have replied to my other thread telling of acts of kindness Ed did for us all, if anyone wants to make a donation in memory of chelsea1969, his sister posted on his FB page yesterday before she deactivated his account that he supported this charity:

Thank you very much and it's so lovely that everyone has good memories of him.

    Thanks Sunny Saver, that's a lovely idea. I will do this tonight - the justgiving site seems a bit temperamental for me at the moment. [STRIKE]Anyone else having problems?[/STRIKE] Just got it to work.

    It was ok for myself earlier and frugalmum, but maybe/hopefully everyone is trying to donate at once for Ed.
