For the last two years Murray has raised sponsorship monies for the Australian Leaukaemia Foundation in their ?Shave For A Cure? campaigns in 2006 and again in 2007, having had his head shaved by Central Coast Mariners Coach, Lawrie McKinna in 2006 at Pluim Park Lisarow.
Also in 2007, Murray raised funds and awareness for men?s Health by participating in ?Movember?
Murray?s efforts so far have raised over $10,000 to valuable causes, and along with being a long term Australian Red Cross Blood and Plasma Donor, this year Murray?s cause will be different to previous efforts.
In 2008, a new challenge for Rotary Club Australia, ?The Postie Bike Challenge?, a 3000 kilometre rally (not a race!) 10 day event from Brisbane to Cairns, via Rollston, Emerald, Longreach, Winton, Carpentaria, Cooktown, Cape Tribulation and many towns in between and ending in Cairns on September 17, 2008.
The majority of the rally will be covered in outback Queensland on dirt and off road tracks.
At the conclusion of the rally, Murray will be donating the motorbike (a Honda CT 110 Postie Bike) to Rotary Australia for their work in community projects in Australia and overseas.
Sponsorship of the rider and the bike is allowed, please note that this is NOT A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION, but purely sponsorship.
Murray will be seeking your support for this event by offering sponsorship opportunities on the riding jacket he will wear throughout the rally.
