    I've been away from this for a few days and come back to this pure epic amazingness.

    This is incredible in so many ways and means so much.

    Dave, I'm currently acquiring RSI from tipping my cap repeatedly and hoarse from yelling thank you...Jersey can you hear me!!!


    On a purely GTL note we've had a couple of applications come in recently -

    A youngster with learning difficulties wants to see Take That or Robbie Williams.

    A mum applied for her 15yo daughter who has autism, depression, significant physical difficulties to see Black Veil Brides when they tour.

    After listening to mum and learning she's a longtime single parent, that her daughter doesn't get respite care at all or the necessary support for her depression we thought mum should have something as well. It took mum a few days to even remember what bands she likes (carers often forget about themselves so entirely they forget what they enjoy) and came back with a list. We're also taking mum to a show, possibly a festival, definitely whatever she chooses it's a couple of nights for her and any friend she chooses. Her brother has offered to take her daughter but I've also said that if necessary GTL will fund respite if necessary. Her response...'it's like I'm going to have a holiday.'

    That is awesome!
  • I just wanted to say thanks and congrats to everyone for making this a huge success. I'm amazed by how much was raised and by all the very generous donations. Incredible job by all.

    Amazing job well done again Tom. I am so glad to have been a part in giving to these organizations that just never seize to amaze. I love to hear these stories, and see what an amazing experience Tom and the rest of the GTL crew can bring to some of these individuals, and bring them a little bit of healing through music. Keep up the amazing work Tom.

    Phenomenal choice. I can tell you personally that this print looks so much better in person. (Pictures don't do it justice) I was able to get myself one before Wrigley thanks to Tom. Congrats @Washed
