Known on Digital Spy as "Judge Dread", on Betfair as "The Kitten" - I was diagnosed with Leukeamia in November 2008. I hope that some of you remember my posts supporting Rachel last year.
Well my friends at Betfair are organising a Charity Poker Tournament - see below. Full details of time and date unknown at the moment but 50% of the stakes will be DOUBLED by Betfair and the total donated to Leukaemia Care.
It would be great to have some support from my friends at Digital Spy. Maybe Rachel could even join in?
Some basic info below:-
The Kitten Charity Poker Tourney
Just before Xmas 2008, Digital Spy and Betfair Forumite, Big Brother Guru, and Specials Poker Team Star Player in Battle of the Forums "Judge Dread", aka Chris, was diagnosed with Leukaemia. You can read about his "coming out" and some of the messages of support here......
http://site.forum.betfair.com/jive3/...Name=Leukaemia
Some of his virtual friends on the Betfair forums suggested a fundraising event for a charity of Chris' choice, and The Kitten Poker Tourney was conceived. Chris has chosen the charity Leukaemia Care for the tourney now scheduled for xxxxxxxx7:30pm on xxxx 2009xxxxxxxxx
The tourney is being held on Betfair Poker, and is being pitched at everyone, whether you are a poker regular, or whether you are a complete donk like Chris and the rest of the Specials crowd. It's not going to break the bank, after all everyone's a winner on Betfair aren't they, as it will be a $20 entry fee, with $10 going to the prize pool, and $10 going to Leukaemia Care. In addition, Betfair will match the donation pool (thanks Betfair), doubling up the amount that is raised for charity. Also, the top xxx players as well as receiving their share of the prize pool will also receive an entry into a $$$ GTD tourney.
In addition to the prize pool, there is a merchandise bounty on The Kitten - and a couple of other players!.......take one of them out and you will receive a entry into a $$$$$ GTD tourney
For those of you wanting to make an additional donation (whether anonymously or using your forum/poker name or using your real name.....its up to you), go to
www.justgiving.com/thekitten
........anything you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Registration for the tourney will open one week beforehand - even if you're watching Corries or footy on TV, or playing an MTT on Betfair Poker, you can still show your support by playing this tourney at the same time. Put the date in the diary now.
Finally, please please please spread the word - could all you poker players mention the tourney at your tables, and an occasional mention in whatever forum each of you is active in will help to boost the numbers.
