our family have so far raised £1300 from 2 charity auctions, but rather than ask for any money, i am concentrating now on collecting up the old bras you no longer wear. everyone has one or two bras in the back on their drawer which dont fit anymore.
the air ambulance are trying to get a target of 200,000 collected, which will help them raise £10,000. the bras are then shipped to west africa for the ladies there to wear, so the smiles are spread half way around the world!
please email me for my postal address if you have some to send on to me - or send them direct to the address on the air ambulance website http://www.yorkshireairambulance.org.uk/recycling/bras/ but please let me know in a comment below how many you have sent because....
i AM HAVING A GIVEAWAY!
for every bra you send either to me or the air ambulance direct, you will receive one entry into the drawing for a mystery prize - just leave a comment on this post with how many you have sent.
If you blog about this cause yourself directing even more people back here, please leave a second comment for another prize draw entry.
depending on how many people enter, i may add a second or third prize :)

Hi Annie - I have done a blog post about the bras and also got neighbours and family rutting through their underwear drawers :0)
Should hopefully be able to get you a parcel sent in the next week.
I hope you get tonnes sent and help Yorkshire Air Ambulance meet their target.
Hugs

Hiya, don't have any spare bra's but have posted on my blog to spread the word directing peeps back to you. Love Hazelxox
I'd be happy to donate a bra!
Hi Annie
Well done to you and your family for raising the money you have so far, its amazing.
I am just starting raising money for the YAA too, my dad was injured and without the YAA he wouldn't have got Hull Royal so quickly. Sadly my dad had an unsurvivable brain injury and died the same morning.
Keep an eye on my blog as I will be running some very special blog candies very soon in aid of the charity.
I defo have some bra's that are no longer a use to me, I will email you for your addy.
Keep up your amazing work, hugs Emma x
Annie,
I will send a couple of bras to their address to help out with the raising of moneys. Hehe but I do kinda feel bad for encouraging ladies to wear bras who don't cause uhm.....who likes to wear a bra? ;)
If you'd rather them sent to you to donate feel free to send me your address at fortheloveofcreativity at gmail dot com .
Please do not worry with entering me in the contest. I'm happy enough just to help out. I am glad for your husband's recovery and wish your family much health and happiness.
faith, trust, and faerie dust,

I have to say that bras only come to me to die, so I'm afraid I don't have any that even a very poor African lady would even care to look at! LOL!
But I think it's a brilliant idea and will post you on mysidebar (...or should that be side-bra....?)
LOL!
Good luck and I'm so glad they were there for your Hubby!
Hugs,
