– the Group have some values that we don’t want to be associated with, says the chairman of the board of Barnekreftforeningen Are Rasmussen about pengenekten.
He has been VG-posting about flaming and harassment of two young girls on the closed forum of the Mannegruppa Ottar on Facebook.
– It is sad that we can’t donate money when we’re trying to do a good deed, answer Kay Erikssen, who is the administrator for the group on the net.
the Fundraising was pulled in time after the media stories.
Kay Erikssen said it was important to show that the group can positively contribute, and in the course of 24 hours was collected over 180.000 euros to the charity organization.
Barnekreftforeningen is clear that they do not want to receive money from the group, and stopped in the day the fundraising that mannegruppa had created on the association’s website.

Now, it is uncertain what happens with the collected money. Organisasasjonen considering to return your money, but don’t know if it is possible.
Had it been money that came from an account we could have brought the amount back. But here it is to talk about småbeløp transferred from several thousand accounts, ” says Rasmussen.
