Chris Small benefit auction

The Scotsman, which has reported on former snooker player Chris Small and his battle with ankylosing spondylitis before, now reports on a testimonial dinner and fundraising auction on his behalf. Various celebrity tchotchkes are being auctioned to raise funds to help him support his family; they're hoping to raise £20,000.
