Announcing a Matching Donation Period

Let's do it for ME's 2nd Birthday!!

We officially launched our campaign on 27th July 2011 and as part of our 2nd birthday celebrations at Let's do it for ME we're excited to announce a matching donation period for the monthly One Day One Pound event up to a maximum value of £1000 + £250 in gift aid from 26th July to the 2nd of August inclusive.  The total donated will go towards the UK Rituximab Treatment Trial being organised by IiME.

To donate from £1 text the code ODOP99  to 70070 

or donate from £2 via the 

One Day One Pound JustGiving Page 

The page currently stands at £2,520.22 + Gift Aid of £314.81 = Grand Total £2,835.03 so the target will be a total of £4,085.03.  When we reach that total our generous benefactor will donate the £1,000.00 plus £250.00 in gift aid.   So the Rituximab Fund will increase by a total of £2,500.00!!

Help us celebrate our 2nd birthday by doubling your donation to this important biomedical research!
