As some of you may recall I am currently injured with some broken ribs - I coughed this morning and broke one of them again .

Anyway I have a charity kart race coming up, in aid of the Antony Nolan trust which raises funds for people who need bone marrow transplants.

My father was in this position a few years ago, unable to get a transplant on the NHS the only alternative to save his life was a 1 million pound operation in the US. Fortunately for him (and me) his illness turned out to be a miss-diagnosis. We where lucky.

I intend to compete in the kart race despite my ribs because I dont want to let down either my team or the charity. I expect it to be painful.

I wouldn't normally seek sponsorship to do something that I would normally do anyway, but I consider this to be exceptional circumstances. If I can do an endurance kart race with broken ribs - perhaps you can find it in yourself to donate some money to a charity I believe is doing much good.

Additionally, being a UK registered charity, for any UK tax paying citizens for every £1 you donate the inland revenue will add on an extra 26 pence taken from your tax payment. To do this I will need to take personal details (name & address) and therefor I shall keep this voluntary, after all this is the internet and those of you who dont know me might suspect that I am some kind of net-psychopath !

You can email me details of your donation to andy@bansheestudios.com.

I can either create a Paypal button for you to donate through or I can give you my address to send a cheque.

Thank you all who consider this appeal and make a donation, for those that dont - i'll see you with my next game
