Our Friends Electric Digital

Its been a few days since I gave a big wave to all the people who have linked to us and supported us. Out biggest friend is StumbleUpon so huge thank you to users of that service who have clicked on our link. Next up are Neil Gaiman and Nielsen Hayden. Both these blogs have sent us a mountain of traffic which in turn has helped raise thousands of dollars.

Live Journal is the birth place of Match It For Pratchett and hundreds LJ users have linked to us but a special mention must go to George R.R. Martin. He has sent us over 500 visitors. Thank you George.

Of course size isn't everything. The whole point of Match It To Pratchett is that we don't have £500,000 each but 500,000 of us each have £1. So I would like to thank all the blogs who sent us just a few readers. Like Mad Hatter Muses, Magic For Beginners, Lynn Gardner and Faery Scrapper.

I just posted about Match It for Pratchett on my blog. I think I may only have about 4 readers, but every little bit helps.

I've also made a donation. Thanks for setting this up. This situation makes me so sad.

If I might make a suggestion: Address this (http://www.discworldstamps.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11460). Some Pratchett fans are a little wary at the moment because of it.

Source FromRimToHub.com if you can, please. (By the way, do you have an email I can use to contact you?)

I got the link from Neil Gaiman's Blog, and of course help to spread it a little bit further on my blog (see link).

I know two Alzheimers cases personally (or rather: don't know them anymore now) and this is a good cause to raise attention for!

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.
