Crosspost from r/Math: every year, we lay flowers at Alan Turing's statue in Manchester for his Birthday, who wants to send some?
Alan Turing's Birthday is on the 23rd of June. We're going to make it special.
Every year, people (mostly from reddit, it turns out) pledge bunches of flowers to be placed at Alan Turing's statue in Manchester for his birthday. In the process we raise money for the amazing charity Special Effect, which helps people with disabilities access computer games.
Since 2013 we've raised about £5,600 doing this, and we'd like 2019 to be our biggest year ever. Anyone who wants to get involved is welcome. Donations are made up of £3.50 to cover the cost of the flowers and a £13 charity contribution to Special Effect for a total of £16.50.
If you'd like a bunch of flowers placed in your name you can donate (or see how much we've raised so far) at our PayPal Pool
From r/math (and some previous donors) we are up to £357, which is pretty good going...
