100 Orders = $1205.01 for the Alzheimer's Research Trust

I've just checked the Cafe Press shop and since I first designed the T-shirt two weeks ago, it has been ordered 100 different times. Some orders were for multiple T-shirts giving us a total of 121 shirts sold, raising a grand total of $1215.01. Thank you everyone who has brought one (or more).

When you receive your T-shirt, why not send us a photo of you, your pet or your beeblebear wearing it. Put the photo on FlickR and send us the link via the comments. If you have a science fiction / fantasy society, role-playing club or maybe a book group you wish to promote, then let us know as well and we will give you, your photo and your group a big plug.

The money from the T-shirts will not reach me for about 60 days because of Cafe Press's 30 day guaranteed refund policy. Once I get it, I will send it straight on to the Alzheimer's Research Trust.

Match It For Pratchett

  • What's This All About Then?
    Terry Pratchett, author of the bestselling Discworld novels, has been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's. He has donated half a million pounds (approx $1 million) to Alzheimer's research and appeared in the media highlighting the low levels of research funding Alzheimer's receives.
    Match It For Pratchett is a spontaneous, grassroots, totally unofficial campaign by loyal readers from around the world to raise money on behalf of the Alzheimer's Research Trust in the UK and Alzheimer's research in general around the world.

    What is Alzheimer's?
    Alzheimer's disease (AD), also called Alzheimer disease or simply Alzheimer's, is the most common cause of dementia, afflicting 24 million people worldwide. Alzheimer's is a degenerative and terminal disease for which there is currently no cure. In its most common form, it occurs in people over 65 years old although a rarer early-onset form also exists.

    How Can I Help?
    1. Give money directly to Alzheimer's Research Trust. If you are a UK citizen, this qualifies for Gift Aid

    2. For a fast, three click donation, use the Paypal button below.

    Like option 1, this goes straight to the Alzheimer's Research Trust but doesn't qualify for Gift Aid.

    3. Tell people about Match It For Pratchett. Use your blog, Twitter or Facebook. Email your friends, tell strangers in the street, dress up as an orangutan and hang from a tree. Do whatever you can to spread the word.
