Hastings for Lee - Donate Now

[Novo]

Recently a good friend of ours and her partner received terrible news that their son Samuel had been diagnosed with Leukemia. It is news that nobody should receive and the two of us wish the family all the best in their fight against it.

We have both decided to do what we can to raise funds for the family whether that be to help pay costs for the treatment or for Lee to donate the funds to a charity of her choice. We will be engaging in a bike ride from Chester to Hastings which will cover roughly 350 miles across a period of 6-8 days. We will be setting out on this journey on Saturday morning (17/5/14).

we will try and keep you all up to date with our location throughout the Marathon Journey and if all goes to plan we should arrive at the Crawford household no more then 9 days after setting off.

Please support our cause and donate as you please! - David & Andy

You little legends. :lovedup:

What a great thing to do.

[The Human Santapede]

Pack a light waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers incase it hammers it down, plus make sure you are wearing helmets and have high vis gear. I don;t want you two getting hurt on a journey like this.

[Lee.]

:bawling:

[reece(:]

Aww you guysssssss, such a great thing to do <3

[Kizzy]

Wow amazing thing to do! :cheer2:

[The Human Santapede]

Shame my mate is away for two weeks, they have a spare room you could have crashed in at hastings.

[Locke.]

Drew's got his house to himself for a week and a half from saturday so he has said if we arrive on time one of us can take his bed and the other can take his mums bed and he'll stay on the couch, very generous of him. Thanks for the donation as well Ben!

[The Human Santapede]

Ahh yes, Drew lives in Hastings, I forget that. And no worries. Hopefully the weather holds up for you both.

[Shaun]

:love: I shall see what I can do... I'm broke so it won't be much, but still :tongue:

[Ammi]

..wow, well done you two and good luck on your bike ride...how long do you think it will take you..?...

[Ammi]

...opps, don't worry I've just read it properly..6/8 days...

[Cherry Christmas]

Good luck, remember to pack the vaseline :D:

[Marc]

This is really nice of you guys, you really are wonderful people

Good luck

[Kazanne]

Good luck guys,a well worthy cause:thumbs:

[Novo]

Thanks for all the donations so far, really didn't expect so much in so little time. I am expecting David's rust bucket bike to collapse in Stoke, that should add a day onto our journey

[Jessica.]

:amazed: What a lovely gesture!

[GiRTh]

Good luck guys. Great gesture. :thumbs:

[Loukas]

wow, thats so amazing of you guys!! :)
I'm currently broke too but i'll see what i can do

[Me. I Am Salman]

this is a really cool thing to do, I'll try and donate later on in the week because I literally have 18p in my account as of this moment

[Z]

Ah you guys are brilliant!! That's so, so good of you, I'm away to go donate :amazed: lots of love to Lee and a big cheer for you two for doing this, and to Drew for hosting you when you get to the end!! :D

[Z]

Aww I've welled up. I love our wee community :love:

[jackc1806]

So amazing, such a kind hearted thing to do. :love:

[Kizzy]

I would have donated for you to sit in a bath of beans novo... but if you like cycling :)
Love and support to you and your little man lee xxx

[smudgie]

Well done lads, great cause.




Think you need to up your target :hugesmile:

[Tom4784]

My bank account is running on fumes at the moment but I'll be getting paid next week so I'll be sure to contribute.

[Novo]

The target has been reached in 12 hours, amazing effort, thanks everyone.

[Ammi]

..I reckon Drew's mum will probably need that amount to feed you both when you get there as well, you'll be so hungry for a home cooked meal..:laugh:..great thing though guys, I'm really wowed by what you're doing and I know how much it must mean to Lee...

[Josy]

Amazing thing to do :love:

And well done for reaching target so fast! will donate once you get a paypal set up.

[Kizzy]

What have I donated through?.... :/

[Marsh.]

What a brilliant idea! :D

[Marsh.]

Amazing thing to do :love:

And well done for reaching target so fast! will donate once you get a paypal set up.

PayPal is there. :suspect:

[Josy]

What have I donated through?.... :/

Must be your card :shrug:

PayPal is there. :suspect:

Paypal has a lock symbol next to it because they haven't sent one up for it yet, I tried last night and it doesn't give you the choice to use it.

Locke told me they haven't sorted one out yet...

[ChristmasNeeve]

aww that's really great of you two, well done :love:

[ChristmasNeeve]

I will also donate when paypal is set up

[Natalie.]

That's really lovely of you both, good luck too

[InOne]

Good luck guys

[Kizzy]

Must be your card :shrug:

A few others have donated already too, is it not safe then or what?

[Josy]

A few others have donated already too, is it not safe then or what?

No I'm not saying anything like that at all :laugh:

It's just that some people prefer to deal with their money online through paypal, I am one of them that's all.

[Shaun]

if i donate money can you film a mini webseries that involves you stopping in for pints in random pubs down the country and giving them a review

[Drew.]

Andy and Locke spooning up to each other to keep warm in a 1 man pop up tent in the middle of a random field in Derby

[Z]

Andy you'd better not stand poor Locke up :fist:

[Tom4784]

You never know it might end up being the opposite to last time, Andy will turn up and it turns out that he's a beautiful woman.

[Lee.]

I can't begin to tell y'all how touched I am by all this :love:

I've had not a winks sleep, but today has been a good day; Samuel has actually sat up today and has been chatting and laughing, he was given a brand new iPad of his own from a local charity and is currently telling me all about this new angry birds app he's downloaded.

He's still in pain and is feeling crappy but compared to the past few days, today has been wonderful. He also just realised that it was his own hair that was falling out and has been chuckling at the fact that he's going to be bald..

On top of all this, the fact that Andy and David would do this for us, and y'all would donate has really made my day.

A huge huge thank you from Dave, Samuel, Lara and me xxx

[Kyle]

Might wanna up the target lads if you can. Smashed it in a day.

[Black Dagger]

Well done guys, proud of you, I'll try and put some £ in when I get the chance.

[chuff me dizzy]

Thanks for all the donations so far, really didn't expect so much in so little time. I am expecting David's rust bucket bike to collapse in Stoke, that should add a day onto our journey

Ive tried to donate thru paypal button ,but it stops me ?

[chuff me dizzy]

Kids are a lot stronger than you think ,adults know about that vile word ,but to a child its just another word, my friends little boy is 3 and has a very bad type of cancer(neroblastma sp*) whats kept his mum ,Dad going was his smile, its never left his face, even when hes been at his lowest he hasnt stopped smiling, keep strong keep positive

[Cherry Christmas]

Ive tried to donate thru paypal button ,but it stops me ?

Josy said it hasn't been set up properly yet.

[T*]

I'm speechless, This is so lovely and I'll try and donate if I can :love:

[chuff me dizzy]

Josy said it hasn't been set up properly yet.

Thanks Cherie I will keep trying x

[Locke.]

Wow, just got in from celebrating Liverpool finishing 2nd in the league and see we've already beaten the target.. really surprised by that. Thanks for the all the donations so far. I'll try to add the paypal option tomorrow when i'm not drunk

if i donate money can you film a mini webseries that involves you stopping in for pints in random pubs down the country and giving them a review

We will definitely be doing this, even if andy only drinks wkd

[Locke.]

Ok, I've added paypal but it's still coming up with a locke for me, can someone have a look and see if it's the same or if you can click on it? Upped the target too considering we already made the original one and it's only been about 36 hours

[Ammi]

..Paypal is coming up as a payment option now, I probably would have waited myself if I realised it would be because I do prefer it but hey ho, the donation site seems perfectly fine...

[Sophiee]

this is such a lovely idea for a great cause, hope it goes well :).

[thesheriff443]

just donated using paypal, working fine.

[Cherry Christmas]

This thread is amazing :amazed:

[chuff me dizzy]

Managed to donate using paypal

[Josy]

Yeah paypal works fine now.

Good luck you two.

[Locke.]

Has anyone been to Wolverhampton before?

[ChristmasNeeve]

so what will you do about accommodation on your journey? Hostels or something?

[Locke.]

Brothels

[Candy Annie Cane]

I'm on holiday at the moment but will donate as soon as I get home. Great idea guys....:love:

[ChristmasNeeve]

Brothels

You should be conserving your energy :nono:

[Ramsay]

Well done guys what a great thing to do! :worship:

[Marsh.]

You should be conserving your energy :nono:

Huffing and puffing for 30 seconds, shouldn't do too much damage.

[ChristmasNeeve]

Huffing and puffing for 30 seconds, shouldn't do too much damage.

:hehe:

[Holly Christmas]

I have signed up for a fiver, not paid it in yet, but will do so tomorrow morning when my money hits the bank.

[Shaun]

I'll donate on Friday, I should have some spare cash then (won't be much I'm afraid, but still)

[The Human Santapede]

It really is great to see everyone coming together for this.

[Jake.]

Ah wow, just read this, really is a brilliant idea and I'll be sure to donate tomorrow, best of luck to the two of you and this is for such a great cause too

[Locke.]

About to leave now and meet Andy in town and then we are setting off.. 2 days early to make sure we get to Drew's in time before his mum gets back home

We will try to update the thread as much as possible although we are heading down the canal to Wolverhampton so who knows if we will make it through the night alive

[Jessica.]

:shocked: Why are you leaving at night?

[Josy]

[Marsh.]

Good luck.

[GypsyGoth]

Be safe on the roads, make sure cars can see you especially if cycling when it gets dark. Good luck guys :love:

[Marsh.]

Can you pick up a Daily Star on your way?

[Drew.]

Take as long as you can

http://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcsewwDwGV1rzbvsto1_500.gif

[The Human Santapede]

You guys best have reflective gear and helmets. Stay safe and careful on the roads, especially if you hit any country roads.

[Drew.]

They have no reflective gear and helmets. Just an old Rangers coat & a Liverpool wooly hat.

[Locke.]

Not too cold tonight luckily

[Kizzy]

Good luck lads, stay safe :)
Nice big moon tonight so that will help.

[Ninastar]

Wow guys... Had no idea. You are very brave and inspiring for doing this... Well done, good luck and be careful!

[The Human Santapede]

They have no reflective gear and helmets. Just an old Rangers coat & a Liverpool wooly hat.

You best be kidding me.

[Drew.]

They have set off with just a flask full of tea and a puncture repair kit

[The Human Santapede]

At night. :nono:

They best be bloody careful, even if the moon is full.

[Kizzy]

14th was full but it's real bright, don't worry I'm sure they have all the right stuff ... stop flapping you old woman! :laugh:

Fixed that for you Kiz. I hear the brothels en route have closed up shop for the week.


Mind those saddle sores!

[Natalie.]

Be safe you two :)

[Lee.]

Still can't believe all of this! :sad:

Look after yourselves, and I'm looking forward to any updates!! :)

[Christmas Dynasnow]

watch out for potholes and lorry backdraughts

[The Human Santapede]

14th was full but it's real bright, don't worry I'm sure they have all the right stuff ... stop flapping you old woman! :laugh:

I worry because it is dangerous and I don't want anything to happen to these two. They may be fine riding but it's all the other twats on the road that worries me.

[chuff me dizzy]

Good luck ,we are all cheering you on :cheer:

[Kizzy]

I worry because it is dangerous and I don't want anything to happen to these two. They may be fine riding but it's all the other twats on the road that worries me.

I know :hug: sorry didn't mean to make light of it , it is a serious issue and it is a real worry.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Word is that Novo's chain has snapped and he is currently pushing his bike all the way down the A41

[Marsh.]

Oh,so it was you who nicked my bike,Grrrrrrrrr:fist:

[Lee.]

I really really hope they post loads of pics of their journey.. If I know that pair, there will definitely be a few laughs :)

[Lee.]

[ChristmasNeeve]

[Kazanne]

Ach, I'm not too bad kazanne.. I know it's a cliche, but we are on a huge roller coaster ride at the moment; some days are amazing and give you the feeling that everything's going to be ok and other days, when Samuels not so good, you start thinking horrible thoughts which almost drive you crazy.. But all in all I'm holding my head up, keeping strong and feeling determined :)

..how is Samuel today, Lee..?..

[Lee.]

..how is Samuel today, Lee..?..

He's having a good day today Ammi.. He had a lot if back pain during the night but he's on top form today. He's losing his hair very quickly now which is quite upsetting but basically the doc said this morning that he's exactly as he would expect at this stage of his treatment. :)

...yeah, I know with my friend, losing her hair was probably the thing that she was upset most by/crazy isn't it so she had it cropped when she started to lose it but it does come out fast and I think once it's all gone, it feels better somehow but it is a reminder I know Lee..:hug:.. but it's also a reminder that some of his treatment is behind him and over for all of you and it's one step closer to his recovery and a healthy little guy again...

[chuff me dizzy]

Oh,so it was you who nicked my bike,Grrrrrrrrr:fist:

Worth a LOT of money them old choppers !!

[Locke.]

Not taking us as long as we thought actually, we should make it to London by dinner time tomorrow. Taking the canals was a great choice. Can't stay at Drew's now though and our bikes are beginning to falter so London may be the last stop

[Marsh.]

You should've asked Davina to join you.

[Lee.]

Where are you staying tonight? Did you take a tent with you?

[Shaun]

Have just donated (I think :umm2: website was tricky for some reason)

[Kizzy]

Oh no, where are you atm is there a youth hostel you could crash at?

under 26yrs membership br DD is £5, then you would get a discount so a stay would be about £10 per night each

http://www.yha.org.uk/places-to-stay/south-east

[lily.]

Literally just found out about this and donated a tenner. Great idea lads.. stay safe. :)

[Locke.]

We have arrived home after a very disastrous last 36 hours

[Ramsay]

What happened :laugh:

[Josy]

Well done to you both.

[The Human Santapede]

Yeah well done you two, sorry I couldn't be of anymore help :(

[Ramsay]

And yes well done :worship:

[Drew.]

The worst planned trip in the history of trips

[Ammi]

..well you're home safely, that's all that matters...well done both of you..:love:...

[smudgie]

The best kind of heroes..big hearts.

Well done.:hugesmile:

[Kazanne]

:worship:Well done,kudos to you both,

[Jake.]

What happened? And forgot to bloody donate, will do now whilst I have my card handy.. well done though guys

[Natalie.]

Well done you two, glad you're back safe

[Kizzy]

I hope you two are ok, we would have donated whatever you chose to do though :)

It was a massive undertaking and having a proper itinerary/ knowing where you were going to sleep/shower would have helped?... :laugh:

It was an amazing gesture and one that everyone is proud of you for, Glad you are home safely.

[Livia]

Well done lads. Sterling effort, you should be proud of yourselves. We're all proud of you x

[Lee.]

I'll second what everybody else has already said! :love:

Also thank you so much to everybody who donated! I can't actually believe it!

[Shaun]

you were ambushed by scott weren't you :worry:

[Cherry Christmas]

I'll second what everybody else has already said! :love:

Also thank you so much to everybody who donated! I can't actually believe it!

We scrub up well when the need arises! I hope you get something really nice for Samuel with it.

[Kazanne]

Was the final amount reached?

[Novo]

The high commisoner brandy was the secret to the success in the end, after Drew abandoned us it was the perfect remedy to the pain he caused

[Z]

I'll second what everybody else has already said! :love:

Also thank you so much to everybody who donated! I can't actually believe it!

We're all willing to fund Andy and David going and doing something monumentally stupid/amazing/poorly planned/kind if it helps you out at all xx

[ChristmasNeeve]

Help me..... Hi, I still can't donate, I fill in the amount and details, and the comment box, then press continue and all it does is refresh the page and all the boxes are blank again. I've been trying all day :fist:

Anyone else struggled?

[Locke.]

Are you trying with paypal or with your bank card?

[Holly Christmas]

I can't even get that far :bawling: but I don't have paypal. It's a Visa card.

[Ammi]

I can't even get that far :bawling: but I don't have paypal. It's a Visa card.

..I had to try quite a few times as well and keep refreshing it and then it just went to the next page ok after a while...

[Marc]

[thesheriff443]

:love:

[The Human Santapede]

:love:

Did you manage to get much back? :love:

[Lee.]

Did you manage to get much back? :love:

Not yet, the holiday company refunded us £300 or thereabouts, but we do have travel insurance so we will eventually be fully reimbursed, we just have to get reports from the docs etc :)
We hadn't paid the full balance thankfully.

[Ammi]

..I know this didn't go exactly to plan but that's the least important thing of it...you two really are great guys ..:love:...

..Lee, I hope this is added to with lots of fund raising stuff by lots of people and when Samuel is well enough, you all have the family holiday of your dreams...:hug:...

[Candy Annie Cane]

Well done :love: It's so nice to see everyone pulling together on something like this :love:

Sending Samuel lots of love :lovedup:

[chuff me dizzy]

Well done to you both,Hope hes soon up and about Lee and you can get back to a normal life xxxx

[ChristmasNeeve]

Thank you so so much everybody, especially Andy and David for even thinking of doing this!

:love:

Yeah, you'll all deserve a really nice break after this! How's Samuel doing?

[Lee.]

Yeah, you'll all deserve a really nice break after this! How's Samuel doing?

He's doing really good at the moment.. He's putting on weight, doing really well with his physio, he has no infection and his blood counts have started to move in the right direction :amazed:

Dave and I have been receiving training on how to administer his feed and medicine through his tube as there has been talk of being allowed home for a few days if his white blood count reaches a certain level.. His next course of chemo starts in a week or so, so he'll be back to being fairly poorly again.

Hopefully he'll sail through it :love:

ah that's great news Lee, kids are so resilient, would be good for you all to get home for a bit too and for Lara, has she been able to come see him yet?

[Lee.]

ah that's great news Lee, kids are so resilient, would be good for you all to get home for a bit too and for Lara, has she been able to come see him yet?

No :( He's still in isolation so Dave and I are the only ones allowed in.

She's coming over tomorrow though and I'm going to spend the day with her :love:

[ChristmasNeeve]

No :( He's still in isolation so Dave and I are the only ones allowed in.

She's coming over tomorrow though and I'm going to spend the day with her :love:

Poor little thing, must be hard for her too, i bet she can't wait to spend some time with you

[Kizzy]

Hi lee excellent news that her is responding so brilliantly to treatment! :hug:

[Z]

You all deserve the best holiday ever once this nightmare is over, hope we manage to send you off somewhere amazing to make all this go away :love: xxx

[Stu]

I have only seen this now and have just donated so hopefully I'm not too late.

Not sure what to say, Lee. I'm crap with stuff like that. Sending wicked mental energy love your way, I guess.

I'm stunned by the idea, David and Andy. Respect. It's so incredible when you see real heart bubble from the primordial soup of a dirty ol' Reality TV message board. Well done.

[Lee.]

Just thought I'd update you all on Samuel's progress.. We waited patiently last week for his blood counts to reach an acceptable level and eventually they got there and we were sent home on Wednesday until yesterday.. We had a great time seeing family and enjoying little things like home cooked meals and our own shower! :love:
We're now back in hospital for another 5/6 weeks and he started his 2nd cycle if chemo last night... He's currently really well and we came back to the news that he is now in remission! :hugesmile: Now we just have to hope that the next 3 cycles of chemo keep him in remission :)

Thanks everybody.. On the downside, the chemo has already started to affect him and he's been a grumpy wee ****e all day :love: However it's good to know that it's the strong chemo that's making him poorly now, not the leukaemia :)
