94 days to go!!

94 days to go....this means that training must now be disciplined and that I am now into the last 3 months of fundraising!!!!  I am so grateful for everyone's support and how many many people have got behind me for such an important cause.

My Mt Kilimanjaro challenge fundraiser raffle for Amnesty International in now in its last week ….to be drawn this Friday (4/5/2012) and I have only 10 tickets left and are desperate sell the remaining tickets to reach my raffle target of $5000 which then greatly assists me reaching my overall target of $10,000.     

A few weeks ago I was able in some small way show my appreciation to GE Australia and New Zealand for their support (GE have generously sponsored my for the sum of $2000) when I spoke to about 60 GE staff  about Amnesty's important work, my fundraising challenge and my career - I know I had a great time and hopefully provided an interesting topic for the group to contemplate. 

I continue to walking and carrying my backpack around the suburbs and soon will be spending a few weeks ends camping -testing out the equipment and my outdoor skills!!!!

Music night planned for 19 May 2012 :

I am in the preliminary stages of organising a ‘Rock Kili for Amnesty’ music night to be held locally at the St. Francis Xavier church hall on 19 May 2012.   I have been fortunate to have a music band ‘The Degenerates’ to offer their services for a night of music from 60,70 and 80’s – more information will become available shortly.

Raffle Tickets:

The raffle is still going well and with just under a month left to the draw date I only have just less than 30 tickets left to sell.

My regime of walking and cycling continues and will be tested now the cold weather is upon us!!
