G’day

I’m writing to you on behalf of the TriHards adventure racing team. Next weekend we’ll be participating in the Wild Endurance, a 100km trek through the Blue Mountains. We did try this last year, and only one of us made it through. This year we’ve spent a lot more time training for the event and are feeling much more confident. However, this has come at the expense of our fundraising efforts.

You see, this event has a minimum fundraising component of $400 per person (in addition to our initial registration fee). Now, normally we’d be asking our friends, families, vague acquaintances, and anyone else who’s email address we have recorded. However, none of them are answering our emails anymore. So, we’re trying something new. We’re approaching people we don’t know who may be interested in supporting us.

For starters, every donation over $2 is tax deductible. So you pay less tax.

This is a 100km trek through the Blue Mountains wilderness, which runs over 48 hours, including walking at night through some very rough terrain. There could be injuries. There will be pain. And, instead of just turning to people who have fallen by the wayside and saying, “Harden up!”, we can pass on contact information for XXXX, should they wish to pursue the matter! Sure, we all sign disclaimers, but I’m sure they’re not worth the paper they’re printed on.

Okay, those people on the side of the road will probably be one of us. But we could pass that information on to people passing us!

Did I mention all donations are tax-deductible?

And donating is really easy. Just head to our team page here:

and click on the donate button on the right-hand side of the page. It will guide you through the rest using their secure site.

Please consider donating to this worthy cause - if only to ensure that the people responsible for this email have to suffer through a 100km trek through the Blue Mountains.

Thank you for your time.
