Hey all, I hope your doing well and enjoying life.
Recently I have caught the adventure bug! No, this isn’t another quest to gallivant through the pubs of Eastern Europe or explore the ‘wonders’ of South America. It is in fact the desire to explore the fruits of our very own backyard: Tasmania.
In fact this Tasmanian experience will encompass 250kms of pain and pure beauty. This endeavour requires of me to mountain bike, trek, kayak, abseil and white water raft through rain forests and over mountains for five days. Immediately, I know you may think this is a crazy man’s idea of a good time. But I disagree!
The Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge was inspired by the Australian Formula One driver with a dream to create an event that combined his love of keeping fit in the great outdoors, and raising funds for Australian charity organisations.
Therefore, instead of shaving my head, growing a moe or whatever other inspiring things people do to contribute to the community, I thought I would do something I would love (and probably hate sometimes).
As a consequence I will be competing in the ‘2theXtreme Cup’ with my cousin, Derek Collins, and to ensure we get to the start line, I am striking up some courage and asking for your assistance.
Most of us have probably been touched by some form of cancer amongst family and friends. So the best part about the entry fee is that it all goes to the Leukaemia Foundation. Funds also will go to the Save the Tassie Devil Appeal.

Consequently we require approximately $15,000 to get ourselves to Tasmania and to enter the event. Derek and I have already kicked in $2,000 each, so we only have $11,000 left to raise.
Whether you would like to personally sponsor our cause, provide corporate sponsorship, or know of other avenues we may be able to exercise which will assist, please let me know.

In the next two weeks I will be posting further information highlighting how you can formally get on board and share the journey with us!
Kind regards, Nathan

Hi Nathan, just want to drop you a line to say 'well done' on your support of the Leukaemia Foundation through your participation in the Mark Webber Pure Tasmania Challenge this year.
Good luck to you and Derek and I will see you in Tassie! (No, I am not a competitor...I work for the Leukaemia Foundation!)
