Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am going to raise $10,000 for Prostate Cancer in conjunction with Rowing For Prostate, www.rowingforprostate.com.

As at 11 May 2009 the 4 guys; Billy, Matt, Tom & Pete have been rowing the Indian Ocean for 21 days and have covered 933 nautical miles (nm) of the 3132 nm that it takes to get to Mauritius.

In keeping with the rowing theme I am going to row for 2 hours every weekday morning around Wanaka on a rowing machine and I will continue to row until the target amount is reached, so this could take between 1 week (fingers crossed) to months (ouch) depending on how quickly we can get donations in!

Apart from the fact that there are over 10,000 new cases of prostate cancer each year, I have my own reasons for getting involved with the Rowing
For Prostate Cancer Charity. Both my Grandfather at 44 years and my Uncle at 57 years, died from Prostate Cancer. More recently, my partner Kim and I spent the most part of 2008 in Auckland's Starship Hospital supporting my 2 year old niece who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma - a form of children's cancer. Sadly, after a well fought and challenging 4 month battle, she also died from the disease. Earlier this year, another Uncle was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer, which was fortunately caught in time to be removed.

There are some fantastic developments happening in Cancer Research and we believe that by raising money and awareness we can move one step closer to finding a cure.

Wanaka's winter has already started with heaps of snow on the mountains and temperatures in the morning are not reaching over 5 degrees, so please sponsor me so that I can get out of the cold as fast as possible!

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

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

Many thanks for your support
