 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! 

 

A big thank you to all those who have given so generously to the 0 to 65 in 65 days campaign.   You have raised over $36,000! And donations are still coming in.

 

The other good news is we have agreed to extend the original close date of 26 July because we can tie this money in with other aspects of the release project that we will tell you about soon. It means there is still time to donate if you haven’t already done so!  Please click here.

Thanks again!  It has been a wonderful effort.
