Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
HeavenCanWait is the website - please feel free to take a look and let us know if there's anything you might be able to add to the event; we're open to suggestion - and offers - and always on the look out for unique ways to increase fund raising.
I know that we are 'just another' charity and that money is always hard to come by, but if you can spare a bob or two, then the JustGiving page is here Justgiving - Heaven Can Wait Fundraising Page
If you have a spare penny in your paypal account, we also offer that as an option.
There are many other ways you might be able to help too.
The idea was by Kevin Gent, an Ambulance Technician who was diagnosed with Thymic cancer in 2005. He lost his right lung and this has obviously had a big impact on his life, and that of his family. He was previously an avid marathon runner and mountaineer, details are on the site. He has worked hard to regain a good level of fitness and is now back serving the community once again.
Having to be very careful not to push too hard, thoughts turned to another passion - motorbikes. The ride is well planned and should take around 20 hours, so there's room for jams and diverts if necessary!
There will be details published in the Motorcycle Sport and Leisure magazine from 6th June about how one lucky 'Joe public' can join us - buy the mag or visit the site from 6th June to find out more.
I will definitely will be making a donation, i have lost a friend to this illness and another who is in remission,it is not just another charity,it is a worthy cause and i hope that it recieves all the support it rightly deserves.
Good Luck
Come on now Jonni, how on earth do you expect to raise any money when you just blatantly spam every email addy you ever had, post on the best website in the world, try and drag everyone in to help raise dosh for the cause, get sponsorship and then you just leave your thread without a shameless -
That's great tiglet - getting people to visit the Heaven Can Wait site is as hard as anything else, and of course any donations are fantastic for the event.
I'm also checking with the person who moderates the appropriate RCN forums and also the webteam to see whether there can be a link to the page - not sure if it can be done, but i can certainly use whatever influence I have.
OK, OK. Well, no luck with 'celebs' I'm afraid, at least not on this event. We did receive replies from a number that we contacted but all committed to other events or TV work at that time. Suzy Perry is filming for BBC (Superbikes I think) and Janie Omorogbe is filming for British Touring Cars.
We're still hoping that our contacts with a magazine publisher might be able to help but, at the moment, nothing happening.
