Subject: Please sponsor me in my 100km challenge
Hey,
I am competing in the 2013 WildEndurance event on 4 - 5th May 2013 to raise funds for The Wilderness Society.
This means I will be walking 100km over 2 days through rivers, valleys and over mountains to help The Wilderness Society continue their great work.
My goal is to raise $400 to play my part in protecting Australia's wild places. Let me do the hard work, your part is easy!
Please visit my page and sponsor me in the event to show your support, you can click on the link below to view my page:

The Wilderness Society is an independent, self-funded, non-profit organisation which relies entirely on the ongoing support and commitment of people like you for its success in maintaining a healthy and sustainable environment.
Using every peaceful means possible, The Wilderness Society works across Australia to secure a safe environment for future generations - by mobilising the community, driving world-class science and exploring sustainable economic solutions.
Thanks for your support!

Subject: Enduring chaffing in sensitive areas to help the environment
Hey,
I have registered to run/walk through the Blue Mountains for 100km to support the work of The Wilderness Society.
Myself and other environmental enthusiasts will be walking or running (or crawling) for 100km all day and night to show our support and to help the environment. We will be climbing mountains, crossing rivers and enduring aches, pains, cramps, chaffing (best remember to pack Vaseline) and blisters all in the name of the environment.
There are 2 ways to show your support for both my efforts and those of my team:
1. Meet us at each checkpoint (all night) and apply Vaseline to sensitive areas, give me a foot massage, make us energetic snacks and supply words of encouragement (and witty banter)
2. Simply click on the link below and make a donation - it will take a minute and you will receive a tax receipt immediately:

Thanks for your support - you can rest with the knowledge that I am out in the bush training for the next few months!

Subject: A poem for support
There is something I'm about to do,
And it doesn't seem quite right,
Have you ever walked 100kms,
Through the day through the night?
I'm walking to raise dollars
In this WildEndurance walk
As I put my best foot forward
You can see I'm not all talk
It's sure to be a tough one,
Over mountains and through bush
I am sure to get some blisters,
And a mighty sore old tush!
There'll be pains in all my joints
And in certain area's of mine "¦
There'll be some serious chaffing
Mostly 'where the sun don't shine'!
You know 100kms
Is a marathon times two!
Then add 16 more kilometers
Is it something you would do?
The most important thing of all
Is to raise much needed funds
To protect our wild places
And redefine my buns!
So thank you in advance
For supporting this 100km sensation
Whether small or large I'm grateful
For what ever your donation!
Just click this link below
I'll be grateful if you do
Think of me and Vaseline
And be grateful it's not you!
