I'm not a bicycle messenger and never was, but I was a motorbike courier and know the hardships of injury - as my poor back will testify! I'll get some off you if I can do it via PP? Let me know. I'll take 5 for starters and any extra I make on selling them on I'll pass back to you for t'fund. Regards. Anthony

BuffaloBill's organising a paypal thing for donations, i guess it'll be online tomo on MT. this would be a really cool thing to do for everyone who wants, effri's fucking wicked bloke and though i dont know chewy personally they've both had shitty tings and any help would be wicked. buy stickers, fundraising allys, straight donations, and god will rate you.
-
effri's a top bloke, any updates on his condition would be nice, and if you seem him pass on well wishes.
not sure if i know chewy but glad he is ok after what happened to that bike, and hope he is back on it soon.

Heej Broken 77,
There is already some of that stuff going on at the moment. I know Bufallo Bill put in a claim at the BMEF and we raised a little bit of money for him tonight at the artycat.
Every penny helps though as thing are looking pretty bad (specially for effri). 2 or 3 things happening over the next couple of weeks to get some extra money to the poor guy(s). Maybe you can gather the money for the forum and then pass it on to whoever is going there (Bill ??) to represent the courier community and hand him over the cash. I mean maybe his family.....I don't know.

jos, do you where i could send a pay pal? not beign in the same continent makes donateing difficult, also what happened to effri?

Chris, I think you can best check http://www.movingtargetzine.com (the forum). There is a topic there about it and talks to set up a paypal account to raise some funds for both riders.

Well, where do we want this discussion? Here or over there?

http://www.movingtargetzine.com/forum/discussion/662/2-london-bicycle-messengers-seriously-injured-by-lorries-in-the-same-day/#Item_36Everywhere that it helps raise additional money for them. Both forums, and anywhere else applicable.

I meant about the paypal thing. I am happy to crosspost, but it gets a little confusing if I ask a question over there, and it gets answered over here!
IYSWIM...
Anyway.
Ok, so I think the best thing will be to use my paypal account. It is bill.chidley at mac.com . Mark your payments 'EC Donation'
Also don't forget that you can also make donations direct to the Bicycle Messenger Emergency Fund <a here
-
i often saw Effri on my commute in around about Southwark -
His chopper bars and his mad old afro always made me smile and that in itself is worth a donation
hope you both recover well fellas
//if you want to donate the new forum header ^^^^^^ is a link that takes you to the relevant page//

Nice. My host fell over for a little bit there, but it seems to be working now.
Remember, cash is the king, but it's all good.

A Bit of a Fundraising.....
Posted by
hey all. I guess most of the people on here have heard about what happened to chewy and efraim a few days back. the result is that chewy out of work and efraim has his legs broken and wouldnt be able to ride back for couple months if ever again. i dont have that much info only the bits and bobs on the moving target forum. i know chewy only form the road but efraim i know form working for the same company....guy with a massive afro and singlespeed chopper-)......lovely lovely guy ,always smiling and always happy........when i've read that he may never ride a bike again i had shivers all over my body.......... Anyway id like to get some money for them or for the bike messenger emergency fund in general. I recently bought shitloads of the ONE LESS CAR sticker and the plan is to sell them for 1 quid each and all the proceeds will go to the emergency fund. so if anyone feels likehelping out and decorating their bikes at the same time please get in touch. im in brick lane bikes most of the time so if someone is passing by and wants to get one please get in touch. all help and interest much appreciated.
thank you very much
Martin
