Another person has risen to the challenge and posted about it on FB - again, I'm using initials and "redacting" a bit, since some people post on FB semi-privately.

PF: ** and I made an IN MEMORY OF donation for **. Holidays are coming and it will be 10 years next July. A long time and no time at all.

Done! The link at the bottom of your post, @Sasha, was very helpful!

KR: Donated already and posted on my page.

SG: Donated.

MG: I made a couple of donations, in line with what I can afford at the moment. I strongly believe much research needs to be done with respect to immunity and infectious pathogens. Many thanks and God bless you.

The $5 dollar challenge ends Sunday!
​

Just a quick reminder that the Five dollar challenge for the Lipkin crowdfunding appeal ends this Sunday, so if you are thinking of giving and haven't yet, now is the time to do it. Donate here

Thanks, and if you donate, would be great if you can leave a message here too.

We're not quite sure how we are doing because of delays processing donation, but the best information we have is that we are closing in on 100 donations but are not there yet. So please help us get there if you can. Dr Lipkin is a cool scientist and we should encourage him.

If you want more info about the appeal, here's the original 2-min video:
