Evening fellow fishes!

Regular reader and infrequent poster looking hoping for some help from fellow Mariners. I'm running the London Marathon this April and despite getting in on the ballot, I am doing so for a charity called Societi, which raises awareness pushes for research into an illness named Kawasaki Disease. I'm sure that most readers won't have heard of this but it's an awful disease that my now 2 year old son (and Mini Mariner) was struck by when 8 months old.

I'm incredibly grateful that GTFC have been generous enough to provide 2 vouchers which can be redeemed for two adults tickets at Blundell Park, for any remaining home game.

In an effort to raise funds for this incredible cause I'd love to offer the chance for fans to offer their best bid for those vouchers. Even anywhere near face value would be amazing, literally every penny helping raise awareness would be greatly appreciated.

My thoughts are that up until the end of Wednesday 21st Feb, posters could offer their best bid on here, at which point we can see who the highest bidder is (subject to Admin approval of course.)

Please see a link below to my JustGiving page which has more information. To be honest, even if only a few pounds were raised, the fact that some of you may read this is already spreading further awareness of this grossly misdiagnosed problem.

Thank you so much in advance and let's hope for a good showing tomorrow from the lads against Donny.

UTM!

@Wozofgrimsby that's super, thank you.

Since I posted this I've since had another contribution to the fund, so thank you also!

Still very keen to get these two tickets to someone, as the club have given them to me in good faith. So anyone interested in putting in a bid, please do so in this thread - anything is appreciated for this very worthy cause.

UTM!
