In August 2006 Lisa
Connell from North London was diagnosed with an inoperable
brain tumour. Nobody knows if she has years or months to live.
Since her diagnosis Lisa has made it her personal goal to create
awareness of brain tumours worldwide. Lisa has been working
very closely with several Brain Tumour Charities to raise funds
for the cause and in July 2007 ran the Great British 10k London
run raising over £3,500.00 for Brain Tumour UK after being told
she may never walk again!
The idea for Rent A Date For Charity came about after Lisa decided
to offered the chance for people to win a date with her and
her cousin through her Myspace page. The rules were quite simple
– the person who donated the most amount of money into the justgiving
account in one week would win a date with either one of them.
The idea soon evolved into Rent A Date For Charity.
There are two ways you can help raise funds using Rent A Date
For Charity: you can either enter yourself into the auction
as a candidate for a date or you can bid on potential dates.
To become a date candidate or bidder please register.
Once you have registered, you can then bid on as many dates
as you like and enter the auction as many times as you like!
