Fundraising

As you all know, I may not be the most serious person when at training (no points for guessing who this is). But recently I've become aware of a charity that is raising money for The Victorian Melanoma Service.

In 2010, they raised $25,000, which was used to purchase 2 new dermoscopes and digital cameras.

Check them out at http://www.iskifortommy.com/, donations can be made, or merchandise purchased (profits donated). They have some really cool stickers and t shirts, and are planning on releasing a cycling kit soon.

Being triathletes, and spending so much time outside, it is sadly inevitable that someone who is dear to us will be affected at some point. That's why I personally will be pushing for us as a club to help such a great charity by doing our bit to raise money.

So far it is early days. I have some great ideas for fundraising, and Nick is behind it. But I welcome any questions/advice/ideas/ expressions of interest through Facebook or my phone 0422 059 037.

This is a really great charity guys, let's do our bit!

Train hard, party harder.
