How you can get on board this great journey

Hey there,

We hope you are going well.

Our success in the 2008 Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge to help raise funds for the Leukaemia Foundation and the Save the Tassie Devil Appeal, depends on your support!

The Team and the Event:

The event will be held in Tasmania from the 19th to the 23rd of November 2008. We will be competing in the ‘2theXtreme Cup’. This requires us to mountain bike, trek, kayak and white water raft through 250kms of the Tasmanian wilderness; over five days.

Why we are doing this:

Our team has a strong desire to promote the importance of leadership within a team environment. In particular we aim to explore the value of personal leadership (by exploring optimism and goal setting) and raising awareness to the importance of leadership among our peers (young males in particular).

Why we need your support:

The entry fee is $12,500 which is distributed in whole to the nominated charitable partners. The entry fee has kept us busy raising funds and we are proud to say that we have $4,000 to date. However, this positions us only one third of the way there, and so, we require your assistance to get us to the start line.
