Having just returned from an exhausting 3 day business conference, and logged on to this blog to catch up with latest comments posted, I have instantly been rejuvinated by the series of comments posted by Andy Gahan in response to my entry " Let Me Know Your Thoughts" (22nd April). If ever you need ideas for how to make a difference with £65, then read his list of possibilities (11th May). To give you inspiration, I have copied his subsequent posting below:

I've thought about this all night and realised I've been thinking too small. I'm going to ressurect a private club I used to run a few years ago and run events to raise £15,000 to build a classroom block with 3 classrooms for a school in Africa. I will probably have to complete all of the other ideas I listed previously, who know's I may even be able to get the whole school built :)Andy - thanks for making me think outside my comfort zone and for getting me on the path of REALLY making a difference. I'll keep you posted with my progress, and good luck to everyone else going MAD.

Wow, this Pay It Forward Go MAD campaign is really going places. How big can you think? Keep your ideas flowing, there are plenty of £65 to give away. Send me your thoughts.

Amazing,inspiring,generous,wow!
This is a great way to engage people in making a difference. I, too, am going to get my thinking hat on.
Great ideas. I assume that you are willing to back smaller projects? I have got an idea about supporting my local youth club and using the £65 as a challenge to get young people thinking about making a difference in their community.
Small projects, big projects, UK, overseas - anything is a possibility. Simon, send me your idea and contact details and I will send you a cheque for £65.
