Accounts

Summary of Accounts as of 28/3/2008 at 10:44

Donations via MatchItForPratchett.org: $6838.32

T-Shirt sales (Completed and Pending): $1215.01

Costs (Paypal Charges): $-304.58

Total Raised via MatchItForPratchett.org: $7748.75

On the 25/3/08 $6,464.10 was sent to the Alzheimer's Research Trusts' Paypal account. The Trust have confirmed receipt of £3070.52 on the 27/3/08

I will be doing these accounts less often in the coming few weeks. The Paypal donation button now goes directly to the Alzheimer's Research Trust and bulk of the money from the old Donation Jar has been sent to the Trust. The last few Paypal transfers are still filtering through as sometimes they take a week to clear. I will send the remaining balance once I happy everything has come through and I expect it to be around $200. The money from the T-shirts will take longer to come from Cafe Press (about 60 days). My plans are to do monthly accounts and send everything I have received straight to the 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.
