WhoNews Charity Results
29/11/11 16:26 Filed in: Charity
The week of donations from WhoNews to Cure Leukaemia and Little Hearts Matter is over and the final figures are in with just under £80/$125 being raised directly from the sale of WhoNews. Unfortunately this was way down on what was raised last year and I must confess a little disappointing, however times are hard for us all and there is far more competition at the App Store than in previous years.
As I previously stated I will personally match this amount and with donations from friends and other Who sites, the total raised is closer to £200/$312 which will be split 50/50 between the charities.
I would like to take the opportunity to thanks the Who community who supported the cause this year, the websites and podcasters who took the time to give me a mention and to all those good souls who helped by purchasing WhoNews or tweeted a link in support.
Many thanks to you all
Paul.

WhoNews Charity Update
24/11/11 06:33 Filed in: Charity
The WhoNews charity drive for Cure Leukaemia and Little Hearts Matter is now on its fourth day and I must say support from the Who community has been fantastic with lots of you retweeting my links, posting on websites or mentioning the appeal in podcasts. Special thanks goes out to The Omega Podcast, Kasterborous, Tardis Newsroom, Craig Hurle and his Facebook page, Doctor Who News and Nicola Bryant for tweeting.
However even with such great the support, sales of WhoNews during this charity period are massively down on last year with just 17 downloads compared to 88 last year on the first day. If you are a Who fan and have an iOS device there is no better time to buy WhoNews and donate to a good cause, with over 60 combined 5 star reviews in the US and UK, you really will be buying a great app.
As an added incentive whatever we raise together I will personally match, doubling the the amount raised.
The last day of fund raising week is Monday 28th, so please make the next few days a busy one at the App Store.

WhoNews for Charity Starts Tomorrow
20/11/11 14:50 Filed in: Charity
Just a reminder that tomorrow for 1 week all profits from WhoNews will be donated to Cure Leukaemia and Little Hearts Matter. So please spread the word, tweet, post on Facebook, put a link on your site or send a friend an email.
Cure Leukaemia is a research charity which works with a number of hospitals to fund extra research nursing posts to drive forward research, provide facilities for world-class research, develop new clinical treatments for leukaemia patients, fund the provision of new drugs and treatments and support patients with blood cancers throughout the Midlands. http://www.cureleukaemia.co.uk/
Little Hearts Matter http://www.lhm.org.uk/ is the national charity for children born with a single ventricle heart condition, more commonly called half a heart. Twenty years ago most of these children would have died within days or even hours of being born. Thankfully, today there is life-saving surgery available for many of these children, however not all survive the complex operations required. This open heart surgery starts when the child is just a few days old and they continue to need surgery at intervals throughout their childhood.
Those that do survive will never have a fully working heart so need to learn to live within the physical restrictions and are likely to need a heart transplant in early adulthood. Around 30% of the children who are born with this condition are unlikely to make it to the age 5. The oldest person with the severest of these conditions is 20, even for the children who do survive the condition is not curable and they will need to learn to live with the disability this life limiting condition creates.
Little Hearts Matter provides support from initial diagnosis right the way through the hazardous and frightening journey the child and family need to take. They also offer bereavement support to parents, when they sadly lose a child.

WhoNews all proifts to Cure Leukaemia and Little Hearts Matter from Monday
17/11/11 21:51 Filed in: Charity
Following last years successful fundraising by donating the profits from WhoNews, I will be doing the same from Monday November 21st to the 28th. All profits from the WhoNews with be donated to two charities Cure Leukaemia and Little Hearts Matter.

Little Hearts Matter provides support from initial diagnosis right the way through the hazardous and frightening journey the child and family need to take. They also offer bereavement support to parents, when they sadly lose a child.
The charity also provides family days where children and families can get together. This allows the children to be normal for a day rather than the isolated children they can sometimes become at school due the physical and mental restrictions their condition creates.
