OXFAM Trailwalker - Help Appreciated by your fellow club member

[Simon Bidese]

Hello Everyone,

Firstly sorry about the spam!!!

As some of you are aware, I am doing the Oxfam Trailwalker Friday week to raise funds
to help overcome poverty and suffering around the world 400 teams walking for 48 hours to
cover 100kms non-stop!

http://www2.oxfam.org.au/trailwalker/Melbourne/team/506

Here's your chance to add to our fundraising campaign without giving us cash

I am asking you to help us by taking 10 minutes of your time to complete an
online survey.

For each completed response the market research company will make a
donation to our team raising up to $1,000 if we get enough people to complete the
survey by March 23rd, 2007.

The project is being conducted by smi, a Melbourne based market research
company.

smi is a member of the Australian Market and Social Research Society
(AMSRS) and operates under a strict code of conduct in relation to privacy. All
responses are completely confidential. No individually identifiable
information is sought in relation to the survey.

All you need to do is go to: www.brandinsights.com.au (if the link won't
click directly just paste it into a web browser)

and complete the survey. It is REALLY important that you fully complete the
survey as payment is only made for completed surveys.

Make sure you enter the following when asked in the survey: OXFAM -
(nab Capital)

In ensuring the success of this fundraising initiative we need your
assistance to not only complete the survey but also ask that you forward it
on to any friends, family and work colleagues you feel would be willing to
help us by completing the survey. We need to get a mix of people aged from
18 - 70, and preferably males (though females are welcome).

If you have any queries about the survey you can email smi directly at
oxfamsurvey@smi.au.com

Thank you for your help in raising funds for this worthwhile cause.

Regards,


Simon Bidese

We completed this years OXFAM course in 20 hours 50 minutes....battling a 38 degree day with 70 kph winds and a 10 degree night with terrential rain and fog.

The team consisting of James Coxon, Brady Wood, Marcus Warrington and myself would like to thankyou for your support.

Thanks for those people who completed the survey...we have raised $6,000 for Oxfam

Regards

Well done Simon, it must give you a real sense of satisfaction to complete something of this magnitude.

I did think of you guys on Friday in that stiffling heat (I had a beer in my hand at the time)....and then again when the rain and wind woke me from my slumber later that night!!

$6000 is an awesome effort, much more than you were targeting if my memory serves me correct!

It was a great result....we were rapped.
Something to aim for next year now
Thanks Again
Simon
