Go Waratahs Football Club !!!!!

Hi Shannon here ...........and I'm over the moon that we've just raised AUS$12,000 from our Australia Day Fund Raiser !!!

My football club's name is Waratahs Football Club and we have just held a game on Australia Day in aid of Breast Cancer.  I did not play as I did not want to risk getting injured due to the climb and how close it is - however I was the runner for that game so I am in the bright yellow shirt in the photos.  


It was a great day and the team and my football club really embraced the day.  The girls won the game 100 to nil which was even better!! What a score eh ?


After the game we auctioned off the jumpers. On average each football jumper sold for about AUS$300.00 and the most someone paid for a jumper was the signed one by all the girls that played and they paid AUS$950.00 for it.  It was an awesome day. In fact it was sooooooooooo successful that my football club are hoping to continue this and do this as an annual event for breast cancer which is even better :)

After the game we then went round all the local pubs which topped up the fund raiser even more. Everyone was just fantastic.

Well only a few days left now. The nerves are kicking in a bit but I'm so excited I can't tell you. For all those in Australia who have helped me and embraced this challenge - so many thanks and I'll be doing my best!


Cheers. See everyone in Kilimanjaro Wednesday night!
