CC Diz and P4P and all the other donators here.

I give money to charities occaisionally but like participating in funraisers more.

I took part in a 24 hr swim marathon in a team with others from my swimming club to raise money for the MS society.

I was really touched by how much money some people sponsored me. One woman gave $500 because she knew someone who suffered from MS.

I was really impressed by the team of MS sufferers who swam using floaties and moving very slowly. Such a huge effort fo them. They must be so brave.

CC #38 babe! yeah sometimes showing up to events and supporting great causes goes along away even more so than giving actual contributions in the form of money!

I know what your saying also about being a part of a group that's doing something..

About 8 months ago at work, there was a guy that worked in our warehouse that had only been working there 2 weeks. But on the way to work he was in a motorcycle accident and lost his leg at the scene..
Everyone at work had heard about it by the next day so we all collected money and did a couple of things to raise money for him to fly both his parents over from the other side of Australia.. Because he'd just moved to my our state and didn't have anyone here.
It was really cool, and our company paid for accomodation for them for a weeks while he was in hospital.
That was great that the whole company put together for him even though none of us knew him. Now he's working in our office a couple of times a week because he can't work in the warehouse.
Our company could have just forgot about him like some companies would but they've looked after him heaps..
It doesn't take much of your time or money really to do something, but it makes a huge difference to the people on the receiving end.

Thanks bro!!

This is actually a huge difference to my girlfriends dads story. About 12 years ago he lost his hand in a machine at his workplace. An accident that actually happened AT work. On a machine that he'd complained about over and over and even written a letter about... That workplace spent about $150,000 in court fee's arguing that they didn't have obligation to pay this guy anyyyy compensation. They could have just given the $150,000 to him, but they figured if they just battled it out this time, if it ever happened again, they'd already have one winning case on their side, and wouldn't be sued a second time for nothing... He ended up getting a VERY small pay out which was useless because ever since he has struggled to find any place to work.. And the business wanted nothing more to do with him after his accident... That's a bad example!

Our business though made every effort to do things they didn't even need to like pay for this guys parents to stay in our city close to him. They made a position available in the office for when he was fit to return to work, which they certainly didn't have to do any of it, becuase it happened on the way to work... It feels good to work for a company like that,,,, where their is more to life than the bottom line dollar...

They're are just f'cked people out there, and great people out there.... Thumbs up again to all the good folk on here!!

I will hand out just about anything I have on me to a homeless person. I've delt out cash. I've handed over a jacket. Once when I had nothing else I could give I took off my rosary and said , "this is all I have to give you," and followed it up with, "He hasn't forgotten you, brother."

Charities themselves I seldom give to. I like to see the person who gets my money. Not the most Christian way of thinking but it's just who I am.

Yeah...I've wasted money buying those fake necklaces off of those less fortunate....or the occaisional I need gas people....

Boxers fight for money and glory, Paula Radcliffe runs for gold medals.

A friend of mine told me he was running the 'Race for Life', for disabled children. Why the hell he would want a disabled child is unclear to me. Maybe he was going to use it as a scarecrow in his garden or something?

I mean, if he won, would they find someone else's disabled child and give it to my friend (which sounds a bit unfair on the original parents, who must be creaming it in on benefits) or do they get his healthy child and then cripple it?
