What does £2 buy you these days?
In this day and age, £2 does not get you much.
It doesn't get you 2 litres of petrol,
It doesn't get you a cup of coffee in Starbuck OR Costa,
It doesn't even buy you a pint!
But a 2 pound donation will help Dreams Come true realise the dreams of terminally ill children, many of whom will not live to see adulthood.
The website has a "dream dozen" as an example of what is possible,
And what can you do to help make it happen? Donate the minimum amount required and help me on my way to the startling at the Scumrun rally in 2 days time. Literally, thats all I need, just £2 in sponsorship, can you help?

So far this is your 2nd post regarding sponsorship and yet again it reads a bit like i'm paying for you to go on a jolly with your mates>?.....please clarify:
Donate the minimum amount required and help me on my way to the startling at the Scumrun rally
reads like we are paying for you going on the rally.....surely you pay, we sponsor you when on it?

No, donating via the website goes directly to the charity, its our job to raise the funds by means of promotion and getting the URL to the widest possible audience.
The help me on my way comment is due to the rules surrounding the rally. In other words you have to turn up with £500 of sponsorship on the startline.
For the record, the entry fees for the rally have been paid out of my own pocket and have been every year I have been doing this.
