Topic: GB9 Paul Medati Macmillan Charity

Donations now at £485.00.....Thanks to Dave Keown for a massive £100 donated today...YOU SUPERSTAR!!

wow!! good on that man!!!!!

This is amazing. Just one GB9 member has already raised more than we raised in total at last years PMT event!

So the current total is £485 plus £128.33 in gift aid and I have applied for a community cashback payment which means RBS (my employer) would add a further £250, so the grand total is currently £863.33

I want to raise the bar and reach the £1000.00 by the time I do my rowing event on Thursday.....keep donating chaps

Ask yourself 2 questions:

1. Am I a GB9 tour player?
2. Have I donated to Phil's just giving page?

If you answered yes+no then please show your support for this fantastic effort.

There are so many worthwhile charity causes catching your attention all the time and we can't all afford to donate to all of them all the time. So if money is tight or you don't feel you can justify a substantial donation then please just donate a quid because it's the thought that matters and it's all a boost for Phil prior to his gargantuan task on Thursday.

Legend mate thanks so much!! I did my final training session today, a tiny 30 minutes, 6000 metres but I have a feeling I am going to need all the support I can get to survive this

You've got to admire Phil's passion. You are doing a great job fella. Keep that positive energy going and you be like a classic pool player, doubling your (charity) money to a grand!! NICE!

Thanks for the kind words.......This is just dawning on me just how tough this will be!

I have some more good news....I just got this email from RBS who give up to £250.00 community cashback payments when certain criteria is achieved:

Thank you for submitting your evidence for the above application. Your evidence has now been accepted. We will now approve your application; Community Cashback Approval is always on the 1st of each month. After the approval of your application a payment will be made to your charity/organisation. Charities Trust payment run is on the 15th of each month, therefore the payment will reach their bank account on the 20th of the month.

This is on the back of this email that I got last night.....

We have now verified your chosen charity’s aims and objectives fit within the RBS Community Cashback criteria.

To enable us to process your request, we do need evidence of the amount you have raised or the number of hours you gave as a regular volunteer. This is typically a letter or receipt from the organisation you have supported or if you have used an online fundraising page please provide the link of your fundraising page.
You can submit your evidence in the following ways:

Once we receive this information your Community Cashback application can be finalised and payment made to your charity. You will receive another email confirming when the payment of the Community Cashback award has been paid to your charity.

If we don’t already hold the banking details we will send a letter to your charity/organisation requesting the bank account details in order to make a BACs payment. We can only accept official banking papers, therefore a copy paying in slip; a copy bank statement or a void cheque would be required. If you have a contact at the charity and are able to provide Charities Trust with the charity bank account info on official banking papers, then this would be a great help.

So £250.00 extra in the pot! Thank you RBS!!

Just thought I'd bump this back near the top for the insanity personified that is Phil Morgan.

Also, seen my good mate Dave Keown tonight who explained to me why the charity is so close to his and his family's heart. It's nice to be humbled by the Pool world, doesn't happen too often.

Thanks for the bump up mate......I am suffering with a bad sore throat that is getting worse, it kept me awake most of the night, I need to shift it and fast!! I will still do the row come what may but anything that makes it harder seems to be making it 4-5 times harder if that makes sense? Dave made a VERY kind donation indeed, what a nice guy!!

Ben, Dave and all the other kind people out there......THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT SUPPORT SO FAR!!

I do still need more donations though, I would love to go to the GB9 saying I'd raised £1000.00 single handed!!

18.75 miles on a rower what an effort that has to be as hard if not harder than any marathon. One day to go lets get Phil to his target.

Get well very soon Phil and cheers Ben your a top bloke.

Well today is the day.....Where The Morganator meets the might of the Rowenator.....a bout over 30,000 metres where only the most stubborn and stupid will survive!! Who will win?? Phil or the Rower? Either way the real winner is Macmillan Cancer Support......BRING IT ON!!

All the best mate, you should get it on Ustream!!
