Hi

As I have said before, in September Chris, my husband, and myself are going to be walking 50 miles through the Carpathian Mountains in Romania to raise funds for rescued bears in the WSPA sanctuary.

We have been donated a large number of really wonderful teddy bears to help us reach our £5000 target. These can all be seen here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?fb … tif_t=like

and we have started listed them all on the Bearpile Orphans pages with their prices and details here: http://www.bearpile.com/artist.cgi?id=1386

I am asking that payment for these bears be made direct to our Just Giving page. That way WSPA not only gets the donation for the bear, but they can also get the Gift Aid as well. It will also keep down the Paypal fees. The shipping cost will be paid separately by Paypal.

There are some fabulous bears there and they are all in really good condition. There are some great early bears by well known artists who are still making, and then there are others from artists who no longer make bears. Sadly, there is at least one bear from an artist, who I knew fairly well, who is no longer alive, I'm sure she would have been delighted to know that one of her bears was being sold to help real bears.

I have priced them at good prices so the buyer gets a bargain and the bears get a good donation.

It's a win win situation - so why not have a guilt free bear shopping spree knowing that you are feeding a real bear while treating yourself.

Hi Karon

Thank you very much. I have been delighted with the response so far - five bears re-homes already. There are still lots of lovely bears there at great prices.

Hugs

I think it's a WIN - WIN - WIN - WIN situation!

---> you

WIN

, because you can adopt a lovely teddy at a bargain price, without the guilt trip that you should have spent it on something "sensible"   

------> the wild bears

WIN

, because your money will be spent helping and rescuing the bears   

---------> the teddy bears

WIN

, because they get a loving new home 

------------> Dawn and Chris

WIN

, because they get the satisfaction of helping out and meeting the wild bears and they get a free "get fit and lose weight"-program (not that they need it  ) 

GOOD LUCK, Dawn & Chris !  :clap:

Hugs,  :hug:

Peter & the bears
