Several of you have asked about this already but now we're making it official.

In honour of Mick's memory we would like to make a collection for donation to a cause close to his family. Lauren has suggested the Royal Free hospital at Hampstead who did so much to look after Mick after he was diagnosed with his condition.

We would also like to use some of the collected funds, if no one objects, to send a floral tribute on behalf of our membership, when family and friends say their final farewells.

If you wish to contribute and have access to a paypal account then the address is dawn.ashdown@gmail.com and this account is set up to take donations in all major currencies. If you do not have access to paypal and wish to contribute then please contact either Dawn in the UK or Johnie in the US via as we will collect personal cheques/checks and add them to the fund.

On behalf of the moderators and administrators, thank you for your support.
