Giving back.. ;o)

Post by Supafrog »

Guys & girls,

Just throwing it out there.. but.. as you might have seen in the last few years.. I'm a diabetic - who went through the life changing drama of shedding lots of weight as well as quitting smoking etc,.,,

anyway... There's a fundraising run called 'run for a reason' sponsored by HBF...(http://www.hbfrun.com.au/)

I'm runnning the 14k's course tomorrow, and am aiming to fundraise for Diabetes WA (which is part of diabetes Australia); as a way of returning the support I have recieved over the years. So if you can spare some loose change, please feel free to dontae via: (http://hbfrunfundraising.com.au/Nick_Lloyd)

Any help is appreciated.... and if you donate i promise not to post pics of me ;)

Thanks!

Nick

Congratulations to you Nick on your personal achievements!

These days I feel that Diabetes fundraising has been somewhat over shaddowed by fundraising for cancer and other groups.
All the best for the run!
It all comes down to how you ride it.....

I've done the 'City to Surf' a couple of times - but I do the walk.
With my partner and her kids.
Pushing her 18yr-old son in his wheel-chair.
She does the downhills, they are the worst - I hate walking leaning back trying to stop the chair from running forward...

It's all good fresh air stuff, and all for a good cause.

That's awesome Brett!

Over the last few years i've come to realise anything for a good cause is worth doing! Especially after realising what organisations give back.
