    Hello again Graham, my nominated charity will be Cancer Research. I was diagnosed with prostrate cancer in May 2013, and had the prostrate and surrounding area removed in December 2013. I was given the all clear about 3 months ago and I honestly believe that if it wasn't for the amazing work of all these types of charity that the future would be a lot bleaker for many of us. My proper name is Roger Arthurs by the way. I would just like to add that your wonderful initiative has further enhanced my belief that the Sky Poker community is indeed by far the best around and is so good that it is in fact quite unique. All the very best.

    Based on family connections to the charity choices, I would like to sponsor Bromley23 and Wacko90. £10 each for now - if my poker results warrant it, I'll add to that. GL Natalie and David.

    Hi as Roger Arthur's (jawzindawz) chosen charity was already taken by another competitor. He has changed it to:

    Prostrate Cancer UK.

    Another great charity. Thanks for your flexibility Roger!

    COMPETITORS PLEASE READ!

    Can I just say to all competitors, the sure fire way of making money for "Your specific charity" is to get friends and family to sponsor you, with the money to go to your charity regardless of the result. Just a thought, as I do want ALL charities to benefit! Please add all sponsor donation to this thread please, so I can track the running totals. If someone wants to sponsor you who doesn't have a Sky Poker ID, you can post their donation to the thread on their behalf. If you want the donation to go to your specific charity, then it is fine for them to select, the "100% goes to sponser's charity" option.

    How much money you make for your specific charity, will not just depend on the result, but how well you do getting sponsors for your cause!

    Good luck everyone, and use all you can to get sponsorship, twitter, facebook, emails, telephone calls etc!

    Thanks again for all the support!

    Graham

    Congratulations mate!
     
    £10 to the "Main Events Cup" charity pool. You are tied for the lead in this side event with Ryan Spittles on 1pt!

    That tenner also puts us over the £1,200 mark!

    Well done mate, and thx again for your support!

    Congratulations to Adam Bromley (Bromley04) for his Final Table finish in Sunday's main event, "The  Super Roller." This FT finish has catapulted him onto the tournament leader board, currently into 3rd place (16th over all), behind Ryan Spittles (Scotty77) and Conor Gilmore (bearlyther) who himself, is fresh off his Speed Bounty Hunter win!

    Well done Adam!

    I'll be racing you for the wooden spoon Natalie! :=) Not a great start for me either! Wrong side of break even this year :=)

    Maybe we're just timing our run? Lets hope so!

    Thanks for the post, good to get competitor updates! Keeps the thread "Alive" and generates interest from potential sponsors!

    Who gunna sponsor Natalie for a late run? (Mind you we could be panicking a bit early, 359 days to go! Let's not give up all hope just yet!) :=)

    Just realised I didn't post a link to my charity.

    Here it is:

    http://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/gloucester-house

    They helped my brother "Tim" when family couldn't.

    Unfortunately his is a story that didn't end well. Which is all the more reason why places like this must get the funding they need!

    Thank you for the overwhelming support we have received for this initiative. It's truly humbling.

    Sincerely,

    Graham

    Not stupid Ross, stupid would be not knowing and not asking. Always good to clarify. And yes, your assumptions are correct.

    For further clarification, the prize pool for the main TLB2015 competition comes from the £50 pledges of the Competitors plus sponsor money assigned to "winners" charities.

    The prize pool for the "Tournament Wins" side event comes from the £10 donations made when a competitor wins a Main, Mini or £55 BH.

    So they are completely separate to each other. I hope this clears up any confusion, however if you are still unsure about anything, let me know.

    Cheers Graham
