The Theo Trust

This game is donationware i.e. you donate as much as you think is
appropriate to The Theo Trust which is set up to provide for the needs
of a three year old boy with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.  He is quite
severely physically disabled by the condition and needs a lot of
expensive equipment (cost to date 30,000).  In the next year or so he
needs to move house to a bungalow and have that converted to his
long-term needs.  See www.freespace.virhin.net/mark.emms/ for more info.

Address for donations is

The Theo Trust,
c/o Isobel and Mark Emms
8 The Maldens,
Shipston-on-Stour,
Warwickshire.

England

If you are sending a donation from outside the U.K. International money
orders are best.  Hope you enjoy the game and many thanks for your
donation.  Thank you Andy for this excellent game!
