[El Gordo]

Hi SP

I used JustGiving when I did the Chicago marathon in 2002 for the UK Brain Tumour Society.

My take: the concept is cute (as they say), the execution poor.

For people who don't know, JG allows you to donate online to people who are running or doing anything for charity. It's a natural for the internet. Does away with the hassle of creeping round, collecting money after the event.

But... BUT! I've had trouble both sending and receiving money with JustGiving. All sorts of technical glitches with the website. I did manage to receive money, and I have managed to send it to others but it was a bit hit and miss.

I imagine they've improved their technical infrastructure by now, in which case, good luck to them and all who use the service.

Please do publicise your JG page here: you can stick it in your signature if you like.

(You did say you were collecting for the "OurQPR" fund, didn't you....?)
