I am so proud of fandom

[neadods]

Yesterday, gem_pinkeh set up a fundraising page to send money to Cancer Research UK in Lis Sladen's name.

The first goal was 150 quid. It was hit in two hours.

The second goal was 500 pounds. It was hit by the end of the day.

Today the goal was reset at 2000 pounds.

The amount when I went to check for this post? 2925 and climbing

I couldn't be prouder of fandom.

Oh, wow. I am so thrilled. I can't, yet, manage a tribute post (it's too new--possibly by this weekend) but I am so proud to hear this. Our fandom, turning a tragedy into something positive. :)

Sent my donation.

Hope you don't mind--shared this post on Facebook. Fandom has never let me down when it comes to creatively using our obsessions to make the world a better place. I think Lis would be pleased, and I know Sarah would be proud.

I don't miknd - this needs to be promoted as much as possible.

Excellent idea.

It's well over £3000 this morning.

Excellent It's going to hit 4000 soon, I think, and I still need to donate.

I'm waiting until my rent's paid next weekend, to see just how much I can afford to donate.

What a lovely idea.

3968.50 GBP as of noon (Central) Friday.

I'm...awed...by fandom. They're such good people.

4121 and climbing as of 1:45 Eastern.

It's the best, most productive way of remembering her I can think of. Which reminds me, I need to toss in the pot when I get home.

I wonder - with the rate this is climbing, if we can get the news out enough, can fandom break 10,000?

Sometimes fandom is awesome!
