Thank you for opening this thread.

I will stick this thread as long as the campaign is running!

If you can - you can donate through the link in the opening post. Even the smallest donation will help.
If you can't donate - please help spread the word, Twitter, Tumble or Facebook.


Paul has made a video talking about Maggie



And he tweeted about it last night too


he even took to his official Facebook page to post about it too


The media picked up on it and People Magazine tweeted this

The Vampire Diaries - Paul Wesley Calls On Fans To Help Cancer-stricken Friend
The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley is calling on his fans to help raise funds to go towards treatments for his cancer-stricken friend.
The actor posted a video on YouTube.com on Monday (28Jul14) in which he talks about his 30-year-old friend Maggie, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour last week (begs21Jul14).
He describes her as a full-time employee who, even with insurance benefits, will be left with "monumental" medical costs that are "virtually insurmountable".
Wesley says, "I'm humbly asking you guys here to join me today and donate."
The actor is even offering fans Vampire Diaries memorabilia and a personal phone call in exchange for donations to the Rally.com fundraiser, which was launched on Monday.
Maggie's family and friends are hoping to raise at least $25,000 (£14,721) to cover costs associated with major surgery she's slated to have next week (04Aug14).
The campaign had raised $9,000 (£5,300) as Wenn went to press.

Thanks for starting the thread, pwfan22 and thanks mods for sticking.

We need more peeps to donate. To raise $25000 requires a contribution of just $1 each from 0.8% of Paul's followers!

The me shift page is doing better than the rally page.

Donations seem to have slowed in the last 24 hours.

I think some of STYGs fans are a little older and then maybe better can afford to donate more

As long as they raise the money - it is cool!

Yeah, I think it's good since we at least reach the initial target of 15K

As far as I can read from tweets from other of her friends there's two days left to raise money before she has her surgery!

Sadly the https://www.medgift.com/FriendsofMaggie had a big setback because someone made a fake contribution of around 12K (It think it was) How can anyone be that evil?
