Posted Monday at 07:25 PM This is breaking my heart the wee man in Mark Adairs thread that needs to go to America for an operation I've got a spare ticket for this weekends semi Final (thanks to an honest bear on here who has played fair with me tonight) but I really want this little bear cub to get his operation. We have 2 options - we can do a bonus ball for Wednesdays lottery at £5 a number - I appreciate that it's short notice and we need all the balls filled or we could do an auction..... (EDIT - IT'S GOING TO BE A LOTTERY) The ticket needs picked up from Dumbarton (I will cover the cost of the ticket I'm not working just now and it's a lot for me but I'll do my bit) Absolutely no harm to Ryan Baird or the Erskine vets but this wee guy needs our help Please dig deep. PS I'm out and my battery might run out incase there's no reply from me Here's the list of the numbers gone, available and who's paid etc - would be ideal to get this filled for the Wed draw, if not I'll roll it over until Saturday night's draw. 1- Iain Macrae (paid) 2- Iain Macrae (paid) 3- Jordan Quinn (paid) 4- Daz Christie (paid) 5- Sean McLaren (paid) 6- Jamie Paterson (paid) 7- Paul Mason (paid) 8- Joanne Macrae (paid) 9- Queen's Highway (reserved) 10- Paul Mason (paid) 11- Daz Christie (paid) 12- Sean McLaren (paid) 13- Ash Ax (paid) 14- Stephen McCart (paid) 15- John Hunter (paid) 16- Mark McArthur (paid) 17- Mark McArthur (paid) 18- Jamie Little (paid) 19- Elliott Macrae (paid) 20- Lynne Ramsay (paid) 21- Siddiqi Drinker (paid) 22- Elliott Macrae (paid) 23- Aldo Holland (reserved) 24- Ash Ax (paid) 25- Zoe Totten (paid) 26- Calvin Von (paid) 27- Dan Deacon (paid) 28- Steven Adair (paid) 29- Ricky Christie (paid) 30- Ricky Christie (paid) 31- Jamie Little (paid) 32- Dory (paid) 33- Siddiqi Drinker (paid) 34- Dory (paid) 35- Colin Wilson (paid) 36- Calvin Von (paid) 37- Jim Neal (paid) 38- Bobby Hume (paid) 39- Bobby Hume (paid) 40- Janice Connelly (paid) 41- Janice Connelly (paid) 42- Bobby Hume (paid) 43- Jintybear (paid) 44- Siddiqi Drinker (paid) 45- Paul Mason (paid) 46- Bobby Hume (paid) 47- Elaine Todd (paid) 48- Elaine Todd (paid) 49- Steven Adair (paid) 50- Paul Mason (paid) 51- Bobby Hume (paid) 52- Dave Nichol (paid) 53- Dave Nichol (paid) 54- Dave Nichol's Mate (paid) 55- Dave Nichol's Mate (paid) 56- Dave Nichol's Mate (paid) 57- Dave Nichol's Mate (paid) 58- Burnbank Bear (paid) 59- Burnbank Bear (paid) 57 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made a small donation but I sincerely wish I could afford to give them the full amount. It makes me mad that they fannies in the east managed to raise over £100k for the Palestinians and this poor wee guy is desperate for help and is struggling to get to the much needed target. I really hope someone with money sees his plight and pays the full amount 6 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually already running a Bonus Ball raffle for one ticket though, so I've pretty much drained that barrel dry already. Mark is auctioning a ticket on twitter right now though. If you donated your ticket to him, he could then sell to the two highest bidders, and double his money. https://twitter.com/adairmark I'd suggest posting the ticket directly to the winner by Royal Mail First Class (plus proof of postage) is the easiest way to get the ticket to the winner. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted Monday at 07:58 PM Has anyone got in touch with the club to highlight the wee man's problem? No one is suggesting that the club pays for his treatment but they could organise something to help raise some funds. It wasn't too long ago at the Everton and Sunderland (I think) an equally sick kid got a 100k donation from one of the clubs to help.. Also on another note, Fernando need help and rightly gets it from the club and former players. Surely the legends could play a benefit game for the wee guy... I reckon that Fernando, if he could, would do everything he could to help wee mark. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't trust anyone mate I'd rather do something me you or RM have control of rather than a ticket for a good cause going for next to nothing - I'm £31 out of pocket for this but if someone gets it for £50 I'm as well giving it to a mate as a favour there has to be something short term that can be done to help the wee guy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In no way do I mean any disrespect to Ryan Baird. I was trying to point out how this hasn't had as much exposure. I know once it does that we'll get the wee chap to America 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted Monday at 08:25 PM Surely there are enough people on RM who would give up an hour before a home game to do a bucket collection? No idea how hard it is to get permission or organise but can't be that hard ? 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
