‘Crazy’ response to Kevin Pietersen top Twitter auction By The Courier Reporter August 22 2013, 1:45pm August 22 2013, 1:45pm Share ‘Crazy’ response to Kevin Pietersen top Twitter auction Share via Facebook Twitter Linkedin Whatsapp Messenger Email Post link https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/dundee/118884/crazy-response-to-kevin-pietersen-top-twitter-auction/ Copy Link Terri with some of her fundraising gear. Bidding for cricketer Kevin Pietersen’s Ashes shirt in a Dundee woman’s charity auction for Cancer Research UK “went crazy”. Within half an hour of Terri Smith starting her auction on Twitter she had received a bid for £1,000. She said: “There is a lot of interest in the shirt and it’s going amazing. “I didn’t start it at anything I just let my Twitter followers bid and it went crazy after £300.” Terri is bracing herself for a bidding war once Pietersen retweets it to his 1.3 million followers. She is raising money in memory of her granddad. The proceeds from a charity fans’ football match in Dundee at the weekend have taken her fundraising total to more than £10,000. The auction will close at 9pm on Monday. To place a bid, you can follow her on Twitter @terriismith, email terri.smith16@me.com or to donate to her cause visit www.justgiving.com/terrismith1609. * Terri’s fundraising efforts have led to her being targeted with vile online abuse. See Friday’s Courier for more on this story.
