Good News...

At last!

Finally, the on-line donation page is live. After 6 weeks of emails and phone calls, Lincolnshire NHS's Charitable Funds Dept has been dragged into the 21st Century!

So, the all important link is as follows-


Another way of connecting to this is with a QR code. What is a QR code I hear you ask. It stands for Quick Response code and Wiki describes it as "a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code) that is readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera telephones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded may be text, URL, or other data."
All very flash, but what does that mean?
Well, if you have an iPhone or a smartphone of any description you need an app to read it. One of the best ones I've come across is RedLaser and it's free!
Download this app, point your cameraphone at the QR code below and zap it. Bingo! You'll see what it does. A great [marketing] idea that hasn't really taken off but has alot of potential.


And the other news this week is I now have two more participants helping raise money for Lincoln ICU. Simon and Gavin from Lincoln Drill Hall have kindly agreed to join in.
Simon will be running the St Ives 10k on July 17th and Gavin will be riding the 101 miles of final cyclo sportive with me- The Wiggle Rut. Good luck guys- enjoy your events!
