T-shirts - A (Nearly) Final Reckoning

Since the 15th March, Match It For Pratchett has sold 189 T-Shirts generating $1,890 in commission for the Alzheimer's Research Trust plus $321.41 in volume bonus. CafePress should be sending me a cheque for $1,610.45 around the 15th May and this will cover the sales in March. Around the middle of June, I should receive the remaining balance assuming there are no returns or cancelled orders. I will pay each cheque into my US Dollar account and make a corresponding payment in UK Pounds to ART. By the End of June all outstanding money will of been paid to the trust.

On a related note, we used to have Google Adsense adverts on the page. Before I removed them they had earned $20.29. I shall add this on to the first payment of T-shirt money to the Trust.

I hope you do more - hope it's worth the effort. I'm one of those who got in just under the wire for the shirt. I love it, i wear it. This is a high quality product, folks, so don't hesitate if you've never shopped at Cafe Press before. You'll be asked "where'd you get that?" by every cool person you meet.

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.
