Party With A Purpose

Previous Issues

We’d like to invite you to Party with a Purpose!

Krissie Willis is a long-time MAG stalwart. She has been a volunteer activist for most of her adult life. Krissie’s work has all been for the betterment of biking and the benefit of bikers.

It’s time we all gave her something back.

Krissie suffers from an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis.

It’s put her in a wheelchair and now her speech is failing.

Her last hope is stem cell treatment in the Netherlands.

She needs £13,000 for starters, maybe more if the treatment is prolonged.

This is where we come in.

As bikers we do pet food and Easter Egg runs.

We give money to dogs, cats, donkeys and pretty much every creature on earth.

Now it’s time to do something for one of our own.

A charity bash is being organised at Rockers in Taunton on 18 November, £3 on the door (part of the proceeds to Krissie’s Appeal).

Obviously numbers are limited and whilst the event will help, it will only go a small part of the way to raising the funds needed. So we’re taking the party beyond Rockers, beyond Taunton.

On Saturday 18 November we are going to hold a UK-wide “maybe even worldwide” party for Krissie. It’s that simple. Here’s how:

  • £3 each is all it will cost - see below for payment details.
     
  • Anyone, anywhere can go to Krissie’s party - BUT you have to organise it yourself! It can be at your local pub, in your garden, in your front room or even your bedroom(!) All you have to do, having paid your £3, is promise to Party for Krissie on 18 November and tell us where, when, and how many of you will be there. Email “AnneGaleMAG@aol.com” subject heading PwaP. You can even have a movable party! Pub-crawl around YOUR town with buckets and collect cash for Krissie’s treatment.
     
  • Tell your local radio, TV and press what you’re doing and why. The more publicity this gets, the more cash we can raise.

How Do I Know This Is For Real?

 We thought you’d ask that, and you’re right to be careful. There are a lot of email scams around trying to take your money. So here’s how to check:

  • Visit the MAG national website http://www.mag-uk.org http://western-region.mag-uk.org or http://bristol.mag-uk.org where appeal details can be verified.
     
  • Visit the website of West Riding Personal Financial Solutions Ltd www.wrpfs.com West Riding is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority, and vouches for the genuineness of this appeal.
     
  • Phone and ask Aine Gale (Western Region MAG), Ian Mutch (MAG President) or Neil Liversidge, all of whom are acting as organisers. (All contact details available via the websites above.)

IT’S REAL, IT’S GENUINE, IT’S NECESSARY - SO DO IT!

We’ve tried to make it really easy - and invite you to help us raise as much money as we can for this treatment.

We thank you in anticipation for your support.

Let’s show the world that Bikers REALLY know how to party - with a purpose!
