We are doing the 2008 Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge

Hey all,

We hope you are all doing well and enjoying life.This Tasmanian experience will encompass 250kms of pain and pure beauty. The endeavour requires the both of us to mountain bike, trek, kayak, abseil and white water raft through rain forests and over mountains for five days. You may think this is a crazy man’s idea of a good time. But we disagree!

The Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge was inspired by the Australian Formula One driver with a dream to create an event that combined his love of keeping fit in the great outdoors, and raising funds for Australian charity organisations.

Therefore, instead of shaving our heads, growing moes or whatever other inspiring things people do to contribute to the community, we thought we would do somethingwe would love (and probably hate sometimes).

As a consequence we are competing in the ‘2theXtreme Cup’ and to ensure we get to the start line, we are asking for your assistance.Most of us have probably been touched by some form of cancer amongst family and friends. So the best part about the entry fee is that it goes to the Leukaemia Foundation. Funds will also go to the Save the Tassie Devil Appeal.

Consequently we require $15,000 to get ourselves to Tasmania and to enter the event. We have already raised $4,000, so we only have $11,000 left to raise.

Whether you would like to personally sponsor our cause, provide corporate sponsorship, or know of other avenues we may be able to exercise which will assist, please let me know. In the next two weeks we will be posting further information highlighting how you can formally get on board and share the journey with us!

Kind regards,
Derek & Nathan
