If you fancy donating something, you can do it direct on their site here :)

For those of you have met Steve Leighton, you won’t forget him. He is one of the most generous, kind, thoughtful and top chaps you could hope to meet. He does so much for other people, both in this country and for the people he meets on his coffee travels in Africa, and South America.

He never asks for anything back, he just gives, and that deserves recognition and in this case, us giving something back to him.

A fellow Mac fanboy and a lost iPhone

Steve and I started keeping in touch after I began to order my coffee from him and we had that fateful “ooo, you’re a Mac fanboy too!” conversation ;-)

He was VERY excited to get his first iPhone before all of us, and then his 3G and then his 3GS last Friday. Unfortunately, he has now lost it :(

And this is where we come in. As I’ve stated before, Steve always gives, and in this case we can help someone who really deserves it.

My suggestion is that we buy Steve his new phone. He has many, many customers, and so if everyone gives a little, it will all add up very quickly :)

So, I think the best thing to do is to use PayPal. My paypal email address is

jonmoss at mac.com

Please mark donations “hasbean Steve iPhone fund” and just send what you can :) For starters, I’m giving a tenner, the very least I can do for all the generosity Steve has given me personally over the years. (If anyone has a better suggestion, don’t be shy and let me know quickly!).

I’m sure with the power of the web, we can soon get this moving, so please retweet, please blog about this and link to this post.

Steve you are a star mate, and you truly deserve something back after all the times you have given.
