The Long Run Home is a big undertaking, and is definitely one of the most challenging projects of my life.

There are logistics, safety, provisions, publicity, fundraising, and let's not forget training, amongst other stuff to consider. I will be relying on the support of family, friends and strangers to pull this off.

1] Sponsor the run. Donate online to the Cancer Council of Victoria.

2] Spread the word. Send an email or SMS to everyone in your address book and let them know about The Long Run Home.

3] Nudge the boss. Are you in a position in a company where you could authorize sponsorship of the run? Don't forget… its tax a deduction!

4] Fundraising ideas. Do you have any ingenious ideas on how you could help raise some extra money for this very important cause?

5] Volunteer your services. Could you or someone you know possibly help out by providing accommodation or support along the way?

6] Alert the media! Do you have any contacts in the media? Newspapers, Radio, TV, etc…? Sometimes to be heard, you need to make a BIG noise.

If you can assist in any way, please get in touch with me, Shaun Brewster, via email.
