Bid on a DPC Membership for Charity

Thanks to a very kind donation by Steve Brown and Mark Simms we currently have a years membership on DPC up for auction in our eBay store. Here's a little more information from a recent thread by Steve on DPC:

In another thread, here, Mark Simms, simms, is raising money for charity by asking DPCers to pledge money for each pound that he loses in his effort to drop 46 pounds. The proceeds will go to a very worthy charity, The Rose McGill Tribute Fund, which was set up to raise money for The Clatterbridge Cancer Research Trust. So far, through your generosity, he will raise over $1100 if he reaches his weight-loss goal. As an incentive to encourage folks to pledge, Mark offered a one-year membership to a randomly chosen DPCer. I was that lucky person.

In an effort to 'pay it forward', I asked Mark if I could offer the membership to another deserving person. At the suggestion of Andi McGill, ecce signum, we are offering that membership to the highest bidder on ebay, with the proceeds of the auction going to the same charity. The wonderful part of this is that ebay will match the winning bid, and donate that as well.

Would you please consider making a bid for the free year-long membership? If you are already a member, it will extend your membership for a year. Remember, your bid will be doubled, and the money will go to help fight cancer! You can bid here. Even if the winning bid is simply the cost of the membership, basically a break-even for the bidder, the charity will still get $50. And, you can still pledge money for Mark's weight loss, too!

Thanks,

Steve

Once again we'd like to thank Steve and Mark and we'll keep you all posted on how the auction goes!

All the best,

Natalya and Andrew
