Deposited $109 tonight, being the 10% as promised. Warren has out done me promising 20%. Hoping they all do well for you Warren. If some of the bigger trainers and Owners were to donate 10% we could see some large deposits. Stay strong and proud NSW.

Just sorted a weekly withdrawal to get transferred from my bank account to the fund. As I work casual I will add extra when I work extra overtime. I urge anybody that loves this sport to do similar.
Just made a donation to the fighting fund and i'm know longer involved with the dogs but still love em and some day hope to come back
Good stuff Doug.

Great stuff fellas, never before have I seen so much unity within the sport/industry, and having participants nationally donating to a fighting fund is almost unheard of...at the end of the day, when this decision is rightly overturned or won...this decision by Baird & Co., will be a blessing in disguise as the industry has finally become ONE.

Spot on, Ray!
I've just donated a 'straw' for the G-Data Fighting Fund Auctions, with 100% of the proceeds going to the challenge / cause.
I call upon all Studmasters to do likewise. There's never been a better time to stand together as one, and to give something back to help the thousands that are likely to suffer if this ludicrous ban is forced through by the Baird Government & his cronies.

EXTERNAL LINK Marks Story ‪ "IF GREYHOUND RACING COMES TO AN END, MY LIFE WILL COME TO AN END." Margaret, lives in a secluded suburb, Neath, in the Hunter Valley and trains greyhounds for a living. Mark Watt is Margarets brother. In addition to helping and caring for Margarets greyhounds, Mark also owned and trained his own greyhounds Sleek Jewel and Sharina. In 2009, Mark Watt had a major heart attack. In 2013, Mark Watt was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour. Mark Watt is no longer independent, financially or otherwise. Premier Mike Baird announced to shut down the greyhound racing industry. This is my life, its all I have, my sister, my family, and all my friends I have made in greyhound racing have kept me going this far, but it if comes to an end, my life will be ended. Mark, July 2016 Mark is now in 24 hour care as a consequence of the Premiers decision. Our thoughts are with Mark and his family. Watch Marks Story:

I think it might be appropriate to acknowledge donations, via a private message, that a donation has been received.

Post them on GD if you wish Sandro.
All that have made donation direct to the fighting fund should be praised and thanked.

Would it be ok to post these bank details on some of the greyhound Facebook pages ?
Do you have questions how to use the Greyhound-Data website?
