A post-mortem

Okay, so it's been an incredible few days and we're busy tallying up the final totals. Please be patient, though - as the joke goes, there are three kinds of journalists: those who can count and those who can't. In fact, there is no one on board this campaign who did not do Standard Grade maths (and one of us even failed that). So the bean-counting may take us a little longer than it takes you. We'll let you know when it's all done, promise.

We're also waiting to hear from the gentleman who ran the Comrades yesterday - and will keep you updated on that as soon as we hear.

And last but absolutely not least, an unbelievably, incredibly, enormously huge and splendiferous thank you to Miriam Mannak, our PR and journalism superstar, who helped secure so much exposure for the campaign. We are in your debt for a very, very long time.

Please do visit her site - she is an award-winning journalist and photographer as well as a passionate philanthropist. It's well worth taking a tour of what she's done.
