Thanks, Jason.
I'm not worried about the discrepancy between pledged and collected, we only posted the info recently, and my total does not include the posters who have paypal'd money separately.
As an update, I did get a few more checks today, I'm up to $300 collected and I think we're over $1700 pledged; judging by others' statements about paypal, I'd guess another 3-500 has been sent to Andy.
Paypal instructions:
Someone sent me a message asking how to do this. I will try to explain - if anyone sees an error in my explanation, please point it out!
Basically, if you have a paypal account, you go the payapl website, login to your account. There will then be an option to send someone money. You enter the amount and the recipient's paypal account (which is the email Andy listed above: grays@bigpond.net.au), and then paypal will debit your account and credit Andy's dad's account. If you don't keep money in your accout, it will debit a credit card linked to the account, or a checking account linked to the account, or you can manually add to your paypal account by sending money to it from a credit card or checking account.
Hope that helps.
