I'm delighted to say that A23,230 was raised--more than the 20,000 they were aiming for. Thank you for those who donated.

We have now surpassed our goal to raise the $20,000 for Paul's Avastin treatment. This is just totally awesome and the extra monies will be given to Paul with the intent to cover other medical expenses over and above this drug, of which I am sure there are many.
As organisers we have received so many really kind messages along the way from contributors and from the community at large. It's definitely been a reward in itself to be at this end and get caught in the periphery of the warm glow being shone in Paul's, and his family's, direction. Someone emailed me today and said that he wished there were more people like us in the world and thanked us for all our hard work. But the thing is, firstly it hasn't really been all that hard work at all - the money has flowed through on its own. And Cat, Tansy and Tehani are amazing women to work with - nothing ever feels impossible when they are around.
Secondly, donations and contributions have come from far and wide and it takes more than a few people to raise over $20 000, especially in basically just one month. What I have taken away from this is that there are a lot of amazing, kind, generous and openhearted people in this world. And maybe, actually, there are more of these people out there than not. I'm uplifted and inspired by the generosity, warmth and love and I'll never forget how quickly and kindly it was mobilised.
The world is a good and amazing place full of wonders and beauty and love.
We love you Paul and we hope for your speedy recovery.

To everybody involved I don't know what to say but thank you. And thank you. And thank you. (And big kisses from me, Jules and Isla to Alisa, Cat, Tansy and Tehani for making this happen).
