Bingo Blog - Magic of Giving

Posted by Stuart on August 15th, 2007 7:20 PM | Permalink

By now, it should be no surprise to anybody that I love YouTube. Its endless types of content, from funny videos - as we’ve seen with the Sneezing Panda - to more touching videos like this one I’d like to share with you today.

Hope you enjoy the theme behind the video. It’s for a great cause.

my mother in law is fighting cancer an has been doing so for a very long time i think we should do a cancer awareness week to raise money for cancer research, jane tomlinson lost her battle against cancer today and i would like to pay my respects to her as she has spent her last few years raising money for the charity

awwwwwww well said tutsylou, great idea too i lost my daddy to cancer too, this was just 2 years ago and believe me im still grieving, I dont know how long it will take to get over it, but its god damm hard, the tears dont stop but nor does the occassional laughter, my dad was my world, he was my everything and when he left he took away alot of my happiness with him, im still angry with him, people dont understand why but then nor do i, i just pray that time will heal.

Take good care of your mother-in-law, life is soo precious make the most of time thats is left, cause life is only time, here today gone tommorrow.

My prayers are with you and all who are fighting this disease.

Awww ty cinders, i will remember that, plzzzzzzzz stuart the idea of donating through bingo is a good 1, maybe it can be done the same way the cruise and hammer game was done.

I would happily play this session for a good cause, and i can see from blog many peeps would be more than happy to donate this way.

They say A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED, and Mania is flowing with friendliness, so lets do something about it, lets show the world Mania is not just bingo but a real community and most of all we care.

Here is a little clip to watch, this made me cry, it remined me of what I went through with my dad, it is reality and maybe some may feel this is harsh but it the truth and worth watching plzzzzzzz stuart lets do something about it maybe we can save someone the heartache of this.

This clip is about cancer take a look, and lets all do something about it.

A SUGGESTION

Oh stuart i put me little thinking cap on and came out with this. now as u know there are some of us out there who agree with a special game to raise money for cancer or a good cause, well i figured that not all peeps would be happy with this as some might totally disagree and would’nt play the special pattern.

I think what should be done is the first prize is donated to a worthy cancer charity, where a vote is encouraged to find the best charity, and to encourage players to take part we should give the 2nd to 10th players on the leader board a consolation prize of £50.00 cash, no free-roll as we know that in the past we always seem to have techinal problems with these free-roll.

would it not be easier to donate ur bbs as u win them each time and at end of month the suggested charity gets a chq for the donated bbs ( we would have to turn them into cash of course)

Great idea poppy, but not all will participate, im more than happy for this, but come on lets be honest, did we get much for red nose day, nope we didnt. I think doing it like the cruise and hammer will bring in more funds, people will play these games as there is money to win on the day and at the end of the promo.

BUT BUT DONATIN BBS IT PLAYERS CHOICE TO GIVE, NOT TO MAKE IT A COMPETITION THAT DONT SEEM RIGHT TO ME, CHARITY IS AN ACT OF KINDNESS AND GIVING NOT HOPING YOU WIN SOMETHING IN RETURN, BUT THAT JUST MY THOUGHTS

I agree with poppy, its just that if we were to raise money for cancer, I would personally like to see a big amount, not just hundreds, it is a good cause and like i said you can count on my support either through bbs or comp, im here and 100% supporting this donation.

For all those’s who has a loved one or a friend going through this my prayers are with them, just remember cherish the time you have today, live for today and as for tommorrow its just another day maybe.
