Glad to hear you made your target. I think there’s a lot of good people around, as soon as they hear someone needs help, they all rally round.

Again, thanks to everyone who has contributed. I’m going to leave the donation button up until Wednesday morning, but as we’ve now passed our target any further money will go to the CTC Cyclists Defence Fund to provide legal advice and expert witnesses to help cyclists whose rights are at risk.

LM, it would be great if communities were more like those of the Amish, but unfortunately this sort of spirit is either dying out or under threat from selfishness and materialism. It still exists in some rural parts of Australia and the more remote areas of the Highlands and Islands, but for the rest…

Still, a lot of people around the world have come to our aid and that is both appreciated and greatly reassuring.

When I read this first and wanted to contribute my mind went back to how the Amish live in America. None of them have insurance. If they have a disaster everyone pitches in and helps. If a barn burns down they used to all bring a plank or two and when there was enough they’d all turn up to build it again.

If only society were like that now…….! I feel that getting involved here is like that!

I’ve left a wee something… I’ll never forget the day when Stoney offered to help me out financially when my car was off the road and I was stuck at home with a young one, and although I can’t offer anywhere near the same thing…. I’ll do what I can.

Messages of support and goodwill are just as helpful and just as appreciated as a few quid. It makes a big difference to me and the Other Half.

Thanks to all who have helped in one way or another.
