Townsville to Cairns to raise money for the Children's Cancer

Good afternoon!

This is a bit of a different request from my usual ones, asking for
interviews and information.  This time I'm asking for some money!

Later this year I will be part of a group that's riding, on bicycles,
from Townsville to Cairns to raise money for the Children's Cancer
Institute of Australia.  It's a ride that's been done for many years
and raised much-needed funds for this very deserving charity.

It's a 400-kilometre trek that will take three days, plenty of sweat,
probably a lot of bad words and more than likely a few tears.  But I
see it as an incredible opportunity to challenge myself in a new way,
and help research into preventing and curing childhood cancer.

Any donation you could make would be appreciated.  Any donation over
$2 is tax deductible and can be made via credit card online (which is
secure), or bpay.  Or if you prefer, I have a receipt book and can
take contributions in person.

The link to my fundraising page is
www.everydayhero.com.au/melissa_maddison  On that page you'll also
find some blog entries about my training and some info about the ride
and CCIA.

I know there are lots of demands for help and donations, so I would be
eternally grateful for anything you can contribute.  Feel free to
forward this email to anyone else who you think may like to help me
out.

I may also be doing the rounds when I return to invest in a nice
padded cushion after spending three days on a bike!

Thanks in advance for your support :)

Regards
Melissa
