Vietnam to Cambodia Cycling Challenge for Epworth Medical Foundation
In February 2011, I’m going to join an extraordinary group of people to cycle almost 500km’s in the trip of a lifetime from Saigon to Phnom Penh. I’ll cycle through Vietnam’s verdant Mekong Delta and the cross the border to ride through the heart of rural Cambodia and see it’s vibrant village life close up and be able to enjoy the thrill of travelling by bike.
This exciting cycle tour of Vietnam and Cambodia will raise a substantial amount of money for Epworth’s hospital’s Heart Smart programme. As you may be aware, I suffered a mild heart attack in April this year so have benefited from the Epworth’s Heart Smart programme. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to give something back and have some fun in the meantime!
As someone who has taken part in the Heart Smart programme as a patient on 2 occasions, I want to do what I can to help raise funds for this worthy cause. Cycling around Vietnam and Cambodia is also a great personal bonus for me! If I can fundraise $5200, approximately $3,500 will go towards paying for my trip and a donation of $2,200 to Heart Smart which is tax deductible. To donate, simply click on the “Sponsor Me” button on the right side of the page or go to http://www.everydayhero.com.au/peter_toby.
I’ll post updates about the fundraising and my trip here.
Richmond Executive 2007 Launch
I was again fortunate enough to be invited to The Richmond Executive
launch at the Australian Club last night. The launch had the most
attendees yet in its 3 year history. Approximately 120 people attended -
which included prospective members and partners. The Richmond Executive
which is the newest of the RFC Coterie groups, is looking to top 70
Members in 2007. Already, RE members are becoming involved in helping to
Administer the Club by sitting on various sub-committees and and helping
to fund innovative tools for use by the Football Department.
