Description:
This was a very simple group. It was a race, boys vs girls, first to 50,000 members wins. This is the group for girls.

We won the race to 50,000. Then we started a new race to 100,000. We won that too, because we're amazing.

Now the admin of the boys group and I have decided to try and do something positive with these groups. Continuing the race theme, we're going to race to raise money for charity.

What's the target? £10,000. We're racing to raise £10,000 for Cancer Research, Refuge and... (read more)

20/04/2007 - In a week the girls are over 25% of their way towards winning the race - that's amazing!
So far we have raised:
£2,086.99 (inc. Gift Aid) for Cancer Research UK
£414.35 (inc. Gift Aid) for Refuge

Which is £2,501.34 in total, which is amazing!
Not only that, we have raised more than double the amount the boys have (they've raised £1,029.36 - it's great, but we're better :p)

This means that in total, members of the race have raised £3,530.71 for charity, yay!!

It's slowing down though and we can't let that happen, the boys may not have raised more than us but when they donate, they give more. They will soon over take if we don't pull up our socks and get donating!
Whilst I'm not belittling the amount raised so far - thank you so much to everyone who's donated! - given the amount raised and the amount donated, each person in the group has donated about 2p. Which isn't great. So make sure you tell your friends about this, we need to keep raising money!!

Good luck!

18:45 - 29/04/07 - ACTSA link now up. There is also a group related to this group now to spread the word. PLEASE INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO IT. I can't message all the members and this will help to let people know what the new race is. We want to win this! It's a matter of pride! We cannot let the boys beat us at giving money now can we?!!
