This year, we at the Genuine Radcliffe Addicts forum decided to do something a little different to celebrate Dan's birthday. Knowing as we do Dan's love for the written word—not to mention our own—we wanted to share that love with the children at Demelza Children's Hospice, Dan's charity of choice.

Today, on Dan's 19th birthday, we are launching a special, ongoing fundraiser! Our unique GRA wristband (see below for a graphic rendition of the bracelet) will be offered to members and non-members alike, in support of GRA's Demelza Bookshelf Project.



The aim of this project is to provide new books for the children who live at Demelza. All proceeds from the sales of our wristbands will be sent to the staff there, who—since they know the children's needs and tastes best-—will use the money to buy new books for the children at the hospice. This project and the wristband have both been approved by Demelza, and we are proud to be offering this special way for Dan's fans to show their support for him and his chosen charity on his birthday!

You can order your wristbands now, and they will continue to be sold for as long as they last, or there is interest. Please feel free to spread the word to any other Dan fans you know—these wristbands will be available to anyone who wants one, not just GRA members!

Update: As of August 19, 2008, the wristbands are now here! All outstanding orders will be mailed out this week!! If you haven't already, order yours now!


Prices:

€ 5.00/£ 4.00/$8.00 for two wristbands, including postage
€ 3.00/£ 2.50/$5.00 for one wristband, including postage

The wristbands will be offered in the two colours shown above, and here is a close-up of the actual text on the wristbands:
