Good luck: couple of questions: Is the money going to the child and then the Winner gets the ball? Or is the ball is gong to the child (which would seem the thing to do)
And second: In addition, can make contributions also?

The money goes to her mum and dad. Yeah people can send cheques if they want and they're setting up a paypal if people just want to send £ to them. She's only 5 FFS and has a brain rumour..horrid situation

As most of you will have read previously on here..there is a beautiful little girl, Grace Turner, who is a Ranger, and whose family and friends are all Rangers, who is tragically very ill.
Thanks to friends, family, members from here, QPR coaching staff, playing staff and the commercial department it was arranged for her to fulfil a wish and was a mascot recently at Loftus Road. I hate to be blunt but that was possibly her last game. Attached are some photos of her day.
Now, money unfortunately cannot buy you health but, it may buy something for this little girl to ensure that every single day she is with us is a happy experience.
"Now if you would like to contribute you can send any cheques to: 18 Watchet Lane Holmer Green High Wycombe Bucks HP15 6UG
Attn: A. Eaton
Please the reciever blank on any cheques, so they can be banked in the right place or made payable to A. Eaton & they will be collected & transferred to the correct place."
Thanks to the Football League and the QPR players I have a signed match ball that we are putting up for auction with all monies raised going straight to the family...the post following this has details of the signed football and the auction.

So, the signed football....
From the Football League I have an official match ball. This isn't a £10 replica ball but an official Texaco/Football League mitre REVO ball which has an RRP of £70 alone. Not that I suspect anyone bidding for it would be planning on playing football with it.
Thanks to the Queens Park Rangers first team and various staff members I had this ball signed on the 16th April at the Harlington training ground.
Apologies for my dire camera work but you'll see the ball in the attached photographs.
Thankfully, most of the players have put their squad numbers next to their names on the signatures.
I'm hopeful that I managed to get all of the first team to sign the ball and I know that a handful of the signatures include:
Gavin Mahon Rowan Vine Kaspars Gorkss Patrick Agyemang Hogan Ephraim Matthew Connolly Lee Cook Jordi Lopez Radek Cerny Martin Rowlands
Amongst others.
So, the football goes to the highest bidder. Monies can either by sent by paypal, cheque or cash. I can either personally deliver the football to you at the last homegame if you are going or arrange for it to be couriered to you.
I would like to thank everyone at QPR for pro-actively helping with anything that they can do.

Signed balls like this usually auction for between £100 - £200. Rarity value has a great influence on the price. Why don't they auction a ball that has been used in a QPR game. To make it extremely valuable one that the team have scored with.
