Paul Paton's boots flew out the door last time round with a well known match worn collector snapping them up, but we still have Stephen O'Donnell's training boots and the last ever match worn boots of Willie Kinniburgh up for grabs. They are once again up for auction right now and can be found at my official fundraising site http://twelveby12.wordpress.com along with 140+ other items. My fundraising aims to raise £12000 for charity by the end of 2012, with charities benefiting including Maggie's Centres, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Children with Cancer UK. I'm also running a LOT of races around the country just now to raise the profile of my fundraising, so it's all go as we head into the summer. Please check out the auctions to see what other amazing items there are. Thanks Robin

Hey Folks, As many of you will have seen in the programme on the final home game of the season (Thanks Tom!) I've got some match worn Thistle items up for grabs as part of my fundraising. They're online just now (ending tonight, sorry for the short notice, been a busy week) and include match worn boots from Willie Kinniburgh and Paul Paton as well as Stephen O'Donnell's training boots. All are signed, and were handed over to me following the final game of the season at Hamilton. Fundraising is currently focusing on several charities including Maggie's Centres in Glasgow, GOSHCC and Children with Cancer UK. Tomorrow marks the start of eight 10k events in a month, so a busy time and a great time to boost the fundraising coffers. You can find the auctions as well as pics of the players with the boots on my website http://twelveby12.wordpress.com 100+ items online just now, with more coming this week, so please do check the site out and help spread the word. My thanks go to Paul, Willie and Stephen for being kind enough to support my fundraising. Thanks Robin

Hey Folks, With lots of interest in the Ryan Conroy boots last time, I was a bit surprised they didn't sell, watchers are on the boots again this time, so this time it will be a sale Also including are a pair of Hinchy's match worn goalie gloves from two seasons ago, both signed in black marker on the palms. I've got more Thistle items coming in due course this season, so well worth checking back There's over 130 other items up for grabs as well, so please do check out TWELVEBY12 Having crossed the £3000 mark this week in donated money, my next donation is being made to Maggie's Centres for Cancer Care, and I am hoping to make it a nice big donation, so please do pop by and have a look at the auctions.

Hey Folks... I've never had as big an auction as this, with a staggering 357 awesome signed items up for grabs right now as I aim to raise as much money as I can for my chosen charities. I'm supporting Maggie's Centres, Children with Cancer UK and Great Ormond St Hospital and this Sunday I will be running my third marathon in four weeks so this is the BIG push to raise as much as I can on the back of those events. Included in the auctions are the boots Ryan Conroy wore during his loan spell at Firhill and indeed still have some of the turf on them. Both of the boots are signed in black marker, and were handed over within minutes of the final match of the season ending. Those boots and the other items (including a match worn QPR shirt from Paddy Kenny) can be found via my official website TWELVEBY12 Thanks, please do have a look.
