Nope its Mike from Art-el.
CG is indeed correct, a very proud day for everyone involved. Mike has collected and driven his sparkling new motor. It was one hell of a lot of cash(over ยฃ70k) and I reckon about half of it was raised through the generosity of forum members, artists and buyers of the art that was donated.
Many thanks to each and everyone of you. You all know who you are.
Pictures to follow .

Get Dring Mobile 'pics added', by Warm Gun on Jul 28, 2011 19:48:42 GMT 1, Can I ask what's the story behind this fund raiser is? Can't say I've come across it before....
just found this after a quick search....
Michael Dring was 23 years old when he broke his neck in a road traffic accident, resulting in paralysis from the upper chest down โ medically he is classified as having a complete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) resulting in Tetraplegia (level C6). Between April 2009 and April 2010, friends and family of Michael are attempting to raise money to put towards the purchase of an adapted car which will enable him to drive independently.
Being the kind of bloke he is, this isnโt just about Mike either;
Any additional funds raised over and above the amount needed will be either donated to Salisbury Spinal Unit or go towards a lasting legacy of this project. Michael has been so inspired by this initiative that currently he is exploring the possibility of setting up an official charity in order to help other people regain any loss of independence due to SCI. If Michael succeeds in setting up this charity any additional funds will go towards this charity which will assist others to afford hand controls or vehicle adaptations.
So, lots of stuff going on as a fundraiser, but one element of it, natch, is raising funds through grafurbanstreet art. A call was put out for people to donate pieces to a fundraising auction which has had a huge response, so theyโre now going to be holding the thing down at Paintworks, viewing of the pieces on the 14th and 15th of October 2009, with the auction starting at 7pm on the 15th. Get down there early on the 15th though, as thereโs going to be music and live painting from 4pm, with Inkie and Mr Jago just some of the names confirmed so far.
Sounds like a great cause!

Only joking, great news and echo other peoples wishes / appreciation to the committee, those who gave, those who brought and those who drank whilst doing the other two. Although pleased for Mike, feel sorry for him as well as I think his days of drinking might be over as he owes his good lady a few hundred lifts. Good luck Cauliflower

As mentioned it just wouldn't have happened without the help of all forum artists and members and CG you are right, a huge thanks to Silky for giving us the platform to make this happen.

Well done to all involved. Great work and a proper feel good story. Its easy to be cynical with all that's going on around us. A nice example of what like-minded people can achieve when they come together.
