Personal message

Hi to all of you out there, as you may well know the Cows have come a long way on bicycles since our first event in 2008. Well, now is the time to move into some Virgin territory! on the 29th May the Comrades Marathon is taking place (The Ultimate Human Race), this year's run starts in Durban and finishes in Pietermaritzburg approximately 90km. I will be tackling this gentle trot in a COW suit and in the process will be raising money for CHOC. All I need from you, is a bit of a helping hand, if you could be so kind as to part with some of your hard earned cash, or even easier to swipe that piece of plastic then I can get my fundraising under way! The important thing to remember is that the amount is not what counts, the giving with a a smile on your face is. It all, makes a difference to the suffering kids who have no voice. You can make a difference in their lives, so help me to help them. Remember to forward this mail on to your mates, their mates, their Mother's and Father's mates etc. Thanking you for your support and encouragement! LOVE LIVING LIFE!

I am taking on the Comrades Marathon and launching the Cows into the greatest race in history!
