Whether or not this idea can actually work, there is no harm testing reaction. And that reaction looks very positive. I think the work being put in by people is fantastic. Im a postgrad student (therefore have no loan/funding) but I do have a part-time job, so can pledge the min. £100 and will try to find more. Im sure there will be plenty of people who turn their nose up at that and point out that such small amounts will not get us anywhere, but if everyone gives as much as they can then it may not seem so silly. Theres no harm in trying.
Keep up the good work derry and all those helping you.
