Anyone sending charity ecards?

Hi Everyone,
I am feeling very 'bah humbug' about the 50p postage for a Christmas card. I would rather donate the money to charity.
I am not sure how the charity ecard companies work and they don't say how much they actually give to the charities. I have been looking at Card Aid, which appears to be legit, but I am not sure how it works?
If I was to post 50 cards it would be £25, so I am happy to donate £25 to charity. What I would like to do is choose and personalise a card and then email up to 50 cards to friends and family.
The article on the main site is ecards connected to charity gifts, so I would only be able to sent a few ecards.
Is anyone doing this or able to explain it, I would be most grateful.
Regards
nappy

I just made my own ecard (Powerpoint and a few pictures, etc), sent it out and then donated the money directly to the charity. I have a feeling the charity ecards will be the same as the normal charity cards i.e. b*gger all gets to the charity from them.Would you say that to a stranger's face in the street? No? Then why type it on a forum?0
