    Raising money for Cambodian orphanage - simply need your vote - Take 2

    For those that haven't seen the original post...

    Have entered the Drambuie Pursuit adventure race in Scotland, for May 7-9th. Entry is free, but only for 5 teams. The teams are chosen based on votes.

    The important bit: each team has to sponsor a charity. The team with the most votes gets £2,500 from Drambuie for their charity.

    My team entered because we like racing, and doing some good at the same time is a bonus. As the closing date has approached (March 31st), however, we've come to focus more on the charity than the team. After all, if we don't get into the race, it's not a big deal in our lives, but for the charity based in Cambodia, that kind of money can make a BIG difference. It won't simply disappear in a day.

    We entered this competition late, so our votes are pretty low. BUT, there are still 10 days to go, and with the power of the intarwebs and social networking, we're believing in the 'impossible'.

    Pls vote here: www.drambuie.co.uk/teams/279

    The charity is Hope Asia, and all money goes to the kids, who are mostly victims of kidnapping & sexual slavery. Not nice.

    However as the original post has gone so far off topic that the original purpose is all but lost, it is worth re-starting.

    I would like to add a couple of points:

    This is a Hexus member who is taking the initiative - he deserves support.

    The cause is to support an orphanage to rescue children - they (the children) need support.

    The charity is registetred in the UK and is answerable to the charity commissioners. While the trustees have religious beliefs that some may disagree with - they are doing something to alleviate suffering - and that is a worthwhile activity.

    Muchos gracias, PeterB. We are so far behind on the voting, but haven't given up yet. With the craziness of social networking, am holding out for a link that goes nuts......the little engine that could

    just did a good 6 miles in 50 mins this evening. Not that fast, but was on top of a similar run yesterday in shorter time, and kayaking & MTBing on the weekend. That thar training doesn't stop

    One can never stop saying Thank You
