  • I don't mean to be flippant, but is it really free if you need 200 people to each donate £100?

  • Seems a great idea - but why not request a somewhat smaller donation, say £20. You are v.likely to attract > 5 times as many people by doing this, and you will also be able to boast far more support as a result.
