Thread: Win a Tag Carrera and support Cancer Research UK( ALL TICKETS GONE!)

    Win a Tag Carrera and support Cancer Research UK( ALL TICKETS GONE!)

    My uncle was recently diagnosed with cancer and is now undergoing chemotherapy, this is the first time I have been directly affected by cancer and I would like to make a donation to Cancer Research Uk on his behalf. With the success of the recent Rolex raffle I would like to offer up my Tag Heuer Carrera ref.WV2112 (http://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Tag%20H...7/0/item/39471). The watch will come on a new rally strap with a Heuer pin buckle and hopefully will be serviced prior to the new owner receiving it. I don’t want to handle the money as all the money will go to charity so think setting up a virgin money page like the one for the TZ fundraiser, I am also open to suggestions. I have cleared this with Eddie and the watch would be the property of the winner to do with as they please (resell for market value if they wanted). Would there be enough interest here at £25 a ticket with two smaller prizes for the runner ups?

When you make a donation please add your forum name and if you wish a message. I will assign a number to you based on where you donation appears on the just giving page so if you wish to make two please make them separately. The watch has just received a service from Animalone (thanks again) so should give you many years of enjoyment. At the moment we are up to 33 participants and I would like to see 40 if we can! I would hope to conclude the draw at the end of the month. If I have left anything out please let me know and thanks again.
    There you go.

    Well done to all involved - a great way to raise money for a fantastic cause.

    Thanks for the response so far. I will post some photos of the watch later. I will also need a fair few more participants to try and raise as much money as possible.
    Cheers

    Absolutely. A VMG page is a good way to run this.

    I will take a ticket
    Battling cancer is something I have seen most of my family do at some point so anything to help combat the awful disease is good for me.

    My donation is in, you are nicely over your target now

    A charity very close to our hearts here, cancer treatments and prognoses have improved dramatically thanks to CR. We wish your uncle the very best during his therapies and on to a full recovery.

    Matthew and family

    Thanks everyone for the donations so far, I was a little worried it wouldn't take off! I will make up an excel document with the names and numbers hopefully this weekend sometime. The watch won't be back from service till the end of the month so there is still time to enter if you wish. Thanks again

    Donation made, best wishes to your uncle.

    Win a Tag Carrera and support Cancer Research UK

    Here is a photo of the watch that could be won. I will set up the VMG page next week as am away for a wedding from tomorrow. Hopefully we can hit 40 contributions and the magic £1000. Cheers
