Mr Cudd. I'm about your age and have followed United for as long. We have never met - my "interests" around OUFC weren't totally the same as yours - but I recognise you from the photo Dartford Ox has just put up on here. I must congratulate you on this fund-raising effort. Well organised in a short period of time. Another reason to be proud to be an Oxford fan this season.

Actually, I haven't said this yet. The night before the Accrington game (at half past midnight) my ink printer packed up. My son and I had to go to tesco's to buy a new one, so we could print the posters. We were still working on them till 3am Saturday morning, what with laminating the pictures,etc. My son Tommy (15) did a lot of work. But hey! it was worth it, wasn't it! You wait till you see the final figure! I'd like to shake every one of your hands, you big bunch of heroes! |

This is a superb initiative - makes me proud of our supporters - I'll pop a cheque in the post to Helen. Thank you Kuryakin. Could you possibly get the cheque to her by Tuesday? We want to add it all up by Wednesday morning. Dave (Cuddy) Went in post this morning so I hope it gets to her tomorrow.  |

Hi everyone! For anyone I haven't managed to thank via email - THANK YOU SO MUCH for your continued support, kind words and thoughts. To repeat what I said before we are overwhelmed by how you have reacted to our story and are so grateful for all you have done, and continue to do.
If any of you are on facebook there is a group which has been set up by a friend of ours called 'Help Tess Sullivan' which you can join if you want to follow what is happening with the fundraising. I put photos of Tess on there so people can see how our gorgeous girl is doing. She started at her special school on Monday, just doing 3 days a week, and true to form has taken it all in her stride!
Helen xx

Hi All
Thank you to those who have posted cheques to school. I am at present on compassionate leave whilst I get Tess settled into her new special school. But I pop up each week to see everyone and check any post so I will pick them up then, thank you.
The target for the cruise for the 5 of us is £5,500 (plus spending money!). At the moment we are up to £3,000 which is amazing! Fundrasing has been taking place since January when we first told our family and friends about the diagnosis we had received the week before Christmas. The total raised overall has been a staggering £6000 through a huge variety of events and it has paid for us to take Tess to Lapland this December as well as sent us well on our way to the cruise.
We feel very lucky that so many kind-hearted people have come into our lives xxx

I had an email this weekend from little Tess's Mum, to say the money is STILL coming in from oxford fans, to go towards the appeal for her daughter. The figure is now £862. I wish we could get it to £1,000

I can now guarantee that the total recieved from Oxford fans has reached £900.
It would be really great to reach that £1,000 target.
