EVENT: Brazil 135 Mile Ultra Marathon
EVENT DATE: 22/01/2012

Terrific news!

Mike finished 45th, two finished after him. The rest of the runners dropped out (probably after the freakish rain/hail storm that hit Mike and the back field of runners).

Great work by the entire Race Team!

---------------------------------------------

Dear Friends,

Please help me raise money for underprivileged kids and orphans with physical and mental developmental needs.

On January 20-22nd, 2012 I will be competing in the Brazil 135 Mile Ultramarathon - running up and down the height of Everest in the process. I am asking you to support me in this effort. All funds raised will be donated to Chinatrust's Light up a Life Charity.

I have decided to raise money for Light up a Life because I strongly believe every child should have a chance to develop to his or her full potential. I also believe that no child grows to their full potential without the support of family, friends and the community.

I hope to do much better than just complete the race. In fact, I hope to place among the top thirty (ok there are only about eighty crazy entrants, nonetheless, just finishing in the 48 hour time limit is an accomplishment few achieve). However things go, I'm pleased to announce that the Impossible Odds Foundation will match all online contributions up to a maximum of US$75,000.

Please support this worthy cause.

I'll do all the running work; training for and completing this event, but I really need your help to make a difference to these children.

Please Help The Children by sponsoring me and Impossible Odds will match your donation.

Select the 'Make a donation' button below. It's simple, fast and totally secure.

See the following media advisory for more on Mike's challenge

Many thanks for your support!

Mike

ps..and please send psychic energy on the weekend of January 20-22nd:-)....thank you!
