More Info About Me:
To whom it may concern,

I have registered today as I am looking for people with ideas and ways in which they can help me with my campaign for Brain Tumour awareness through Rent a Date for Charity, a new organisation working in association with Brain Tumour Charities throughout the UK & Worldwide.

Rent a Date for Charity has been set up by me, Lisa Connell after I was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in August 2006. Since my diagnosis I has been working tirelessly to raise funds for and awareness of Brain Tumour Charities. In July 2007 I participated in a 10k run raising over £3000 having been told six months previously that I would never walk again.

I decided that raising money this way was not enough and wanted to create a way of fundraising that would create maximum exposure for the charities and be a lasting legacy. The result of this is Rent a Date for Charity and through this site I have managed to raise nearly £12,000.

Rent a Date for Charity is a website which people join to be members as either a bidder or a candidate up for auction. The person that bids the highest on a date candidate wins that date. Rent a Date for Charity then donates all the company profits to the designated charities each quarter. Those profits then go towards research supported by brain tumour charities and awareness campaigns organised by Rent a Date for Charity My drive for the site will be the Celebrity Dates whereby 75% of the Net auction proceeds will go directly to the designated charities or in the instance where one of the designated charities refers the celebrity directly to them. Since launching the site the response has been huge with local and national media already covering my story. Below is a list of the media coverage so far:

TV & Radio
Brain Tumour UK Awareness DVD, London Tonight, LK Today, BBC Radio Bristol, LBC Radio, BBC Radio 5 Live
Newspapers & Magazines
The Sun, Look Magazine, All Issues of the Times Group, Enfield independent, Ham & High – Repeat Coverage, LK Today, Bath Chronicle – 2 Publications

I have just finished shooting with ELLE magazine last week who are also to do a three page exclusive on my story in their May edition.

To raise even more money for Brain Tumour Charities, I am keen to arrange for a number of celebrities to get involved and auction a date through the site. The website was officially launched in October 2007 and after three impressive months we closed for Christmas and re-launched again in January 2008 with a whole new brand. So far the Celebrity Dates have been as follows:

Celebrity Dates
Model Sophie Anderton
Actor Jimmi Harkishin (AKA Dev from Coronation Street)
TV Presenter Gary McCausland (Channel Five’s How to be a Property Developer)
TV Presenter and Model Donatella Panayiotou (as seen on Young Posh & Loaded)
Cheryl Baker (Bucks Fizz)

Currently I have Orlaith McAllister who was one of Big Brother Five’s contestants up for auction.




If you require any further information or would like to get involved by assisting with other advertising and marketing campaigns and wish to discuss any of the above further please do not hesitate to contact me or my publicists direct on the details provided below.

Many thanks in advance for your support for this fantastic awareness campaign, with your help we will be able to arrange a substantial amount of money for Brain Tumour Charities throughout the UK & Worldwide helping the thousands of people like myself who are affected every year.

I look forward to hearing from you further.

Kind regards,

Kind regards

Miss L. Connell

Google's recycled wireless computer mice - not only are they red and blue, they're green too

Firstly their mice are recycled, so Google are going to rake up some green points on that. Secondly, they're wireless, so they also feature cutting-edge technology.
