Birthday project 2005

[Fireflyfanuk]

Ok, this is the first time i have tried something like this so bear with me.

AB & Nathan Fillions birthdays are coming up and Adam Baldwin Online & Nathan Fillion Online have teamed up to do something special.

we are now takeing donations from you browncoats. money raised will be split and one half will be donated to the american red cross on Adams behalf & the other on nathans. we will then send them both cards to tell them this and to wish them both happy birthdays

I hope you will take part, even if its only a donation of 50p it will still help.

I will post more information in a few days. in the mean time please send your donations via paypal to [e-mail].

once we reach the dead line i will post the grand total raised and then the donations will be made.


A special thanks to Matt Peck for helping to make this happen, and allowing us the use of his paypal account.

Thanks for your time

Darren

[Fireflyfanuk]

When is the deadline?
I'll try to give a little next week. I have a paypal account... somewhere

[Fireflyfanuk]

i have set a deadline of March the 1st for donations. That way adam & nathan can be presented with birthday cards and info on the project at the grandslam event on march 11th.

Sorry, it seems that we in Croatia don't have paypal option...

[Fireflyfanuk]

Total update

*$60.00*

;D

[Mateo [Maestro]]

YAAY!

[Fireflyfanuk]

Ok, i have decieded to bring the dealine foward. Adam`s bithday is on the 27th of this month and nathans the 2th of next month and i just think it would be nice for him to get this gift on his birthday, the same with nathan. So, the current total is $60.00. i`ll split that and donate $30 in adams name and $30 in nathans name, but i`ll take the total that jen raised for us ( you rock mwahhh xx and then split that in half and when i notifi nathan and adam of the project i`ll add each half to the grand total.. am i makeing any sense?? lol i know what i mean lol. so, the deadline is now tomorrow, im guessing we wont have any donations by then lol but its there just incase.

Ok, any questions just ask, reading it back it doesnt make much sense lol. im just thinking it will be a nice suprise for them to have on there actual birthday, rather than before/after it..

Thanks so much for your support in this guys, im sure the money raised will help out

I planned to donate, but it seems that Paypal is not available here in Croatia.

Btw, I just got it that Adam and Nathan are both Pieces in horoscope. Like me. It's a destiny, I'm going to be member of cast in next Firefly series ;D

[harlequinn]

I had planned on sending in a few bucks at the last minute. Oh well. I've already sent all I could really do to the RC this year, so I'm not going to feel too bad.

Hey, I'm a Pisces, too! WOOT!

[Mateo [Maestro]]

Darren posted this message to Adam on the prospero forums:


"The following is a copy of a letter which was sent to you a few days ago, it was sent with a birthday card. I thought id post it here too in case it didnt reach you before your birthday or if it doesnt reach you at all. I am also posting it here because I forgot to add a few things in the letter which was sent.

Dear Mr B,

I hope this letter finds you well.

I shall start by introducing myself, we have spoken a few times on the prospero firefly boards but I have never really introduced myself properly. My name is Darren (fireflyfanuk) im 19 and I live in the uk. I run the Adam Baldwin Online Forum, a place for your fans to chat about your previous roles and work etc, as well as trying to provide up to date info on your career. My forum recently held a fund raiser for your birthday, in association with Nathan Fillion Online. The money raised will be split and half donated to the American red cross in your name and half in Nathan’s. I hope you don’t mind, Its just your fans way of showing we care. As well as a donation to the American red cross money was also donated to unicef on your behalf thanks to the fund raising efforts of some awesome Australian browncoats.

Its great that you might be attending the starfury serenity event this April here in the Uk. I was really hoping id be able to make it, but it doesn’t look like I will. You see I am a full time carer for my mum, she has Fibromyaglia and chronic arthritis so finds it hard to do things for herself. im not receiving any form of benefit nor do I have any other income, so things are a little tight., which means I wont be able to afford a ticket. Which is typical because this is the one convention that is being held only 45mins away. I am really gutted about it, I would have loved to meet you, Nathan, Jewel and all of the other guys attending, if only to give you all the gifts I have. I already told you about yours, A replica (as near as I could get it) to your helmet in FMJ. Its nothing special, and you probably would hate it but I would have liked you to have it. who knows, perhaps serenity will have a big premier here in the UK and I`ll be able to throw it at you from the crowed .I hope you have an awesome time in April at the con, I know that everybody attending is really excited to meet you. And hopefully I`ll be able to get a member of ABOnline to take some pics for the forum, so make sure you wave.

Hopefully some day I`ll be able to meet you and shake your hand, A man that is such an inspiration as an actor and as a person in general. Over the years you have had such an impact on millions of people all over the world for being so kind, so talented and so devoted to what you do. And your passion comes through in your performance, what ever it may be. Not only that, but you take the time to talk to people which makes you all the more special.

I wont go on and on, I know you’re a very busy man.

All that is left for me to say is I wish you a very happy birthday, surrounded by loving family and friends. And I hope the future is bright for you and your family. You have a tremendous talent, and I thank you for sharing it with us and I hope you will continue to shine for years to come, Im sure you will.

Take care & all the best

Darren (fireflyfanuk)

And Adam answered a couple of hours later (well, 2 hours and 23 minutes to be precise ):

"Thanks D:

I appreciate your kindness and that of all those who donated to this effort.

I do hope to make it to Starfury...

Serenity,
