British Boxer Donates Funds For Tsunami

[DJ Pat]

Letter in the Bangkok post recently by yours truely:

We've heard all about the big celebrities giving large amounts of money to the tsunami fund and some of their paltry donations (Paradorn take note) but I would like to tell you about a professional British Welterweight boxer I know called Brett James, who survived the terrible events and used the experience to go on a fundraising spree on his return to the UK. He has raised over 23,000 GBP (around 1.63 Million THB) and his wife has flown to Bangkok to present the cheque to the tsunami fund.

I know this will not probably make any news at all and will be overshadowed by the huge corporate fundraising event that's taking place (the MTV concert) but I'm hoping that this small acknowledgement will find it's right place in your paper.

Yours Sincerely, DJ Pat
