Despite managing to (provisionally) break the world record for the most candles lit at one time in a shape of an image, we are some few thousand pounds short of our fund-raising target. So it has been decided that our mission continues.

So what's for the future? This will be to come. This site, www.20008candles.com will remain live until the goal of purchasing a new Rescue Ambulance for Cranleigh St. John Ambulance has been achieved. Already there are plans in the works for a concert to partly benefit Cranleigh St John - this event will be in 2009.

In the meantime, spread the word! We have Paypal functionality so your donations online are always appreciated.

WE DID IT!!!!

The adjudicators have counted and the candles did get lit tonight, Thursday August 14th. 23,975 candles were lit in the shape of a Maltese Cross.

Pictures will follow as they are sent to the website.
