Blubberman to Ironman in aid of DREAMFLIGHT (FT APPROVED)
**** UPDATE – Due to some personal circumstances I am having to put this off until 2011, Sorry to let people down who have sponsored me, please feel free to contact me if you would like ****
Blubberman to Ironman in aid of DREAMFLIGHT
www.justgiving.com/ct-uk
As many of you are aware I completed (slowly) The London Triathlon in aid of DREAMFLIGHT in August 09. Thanks to the huge generosity of many here at FT I raised over Ł3500 to help send a child on a holiday of a lifetime.
http://www.justgiving.com/CT-UK
I am now back again asking for more support for my 2010 fundraising effort, I will be doing another triathlon but this time in St George, Utah. USA. I am going to be upping the game from an Olympic distance of Swim 1500m Cycle 40km run 10km to a full Ironman distance event of Swim 2.4 miles, Cycle 112 miles run 26.2miles (3.86km, 180.25km,42.195km). The event starts at 7am and the cutoff tome is midnight. I hope to get it done in 14 hours.

Where does the money go?
Dreamflight relies entirely on the generosity of its supporters. The total cost of the Dreamflight trip each year is in excess of Ł600,000. Here’s how your donation could help towards providing the “Holidayof a Lifetime” for a most deserving child:
• Ł5 pays for a Dreamflight rucksack
• Ł25 pays for the personalised DVD each child receives of their trip
• Ł40 provides baseball caps for 16 children
• Ł60 provides lunch and refreshments each day for one child
• Ł100 buys a transit seat, used for transferring some children to and from their wheelchairs
• Ł150 pays for a group’s pre-trip get-together or reunion
• Ł200 pays for a child to swim with dolphins at Discovery Cove
• Ł280 sponsors a set of T shirts for all the members of one group
• Ł300 pays for his/her accommodation and half board inOrlando
• Ł330 equips every child with a Dreamflight bumbag
• Ł3000 funds the total holiday for one child
The Dreamflight trip also offers opportunities for corporate sponsorship, eg.
• Ł900 provides sponsorship for the Dreamflight rucksacks given to each child
• Ł1,300 sponsors hire of the radios and cellphones used to maintain contact between groups inOrlando
• Ł2,800 covers the cost of a Welcome Party at Heathrow
• Ł13,000 pays for the cost of the domestic flights or coach hire needed to gather all the children together at Heathrow
• Ł13,000 sponsors a day’s entry toMagicKingdom or Universal Studios for the entire group – children and helpers
• Ł25,000 sponsors the coaches used daily in Orlando
• Ł40,000 sponsors the day at Discovery Cove, where each child can swim with dolphins
• Ł57,000 sponsors the accommodation in Orlando for the entire stay
• Ł320,000 sponsors the charter of a British Airways 747

Your link doesn't work; you need another "i" in giving. Perhaps a friendly mod can edit it. Good luck CT!

The links all work now. Just tested them.
If anybody wants a trip to Vegas for May 1st St George is only 100miles away. I may need help pushing me around the strip from bar to bar after in a wheelchair to get my beer.

As for pushig you through Vegas in a wheelchair - if I can darling I'd be delighted to do it. And rest assured I'll be buying you all the beers you'd need.
Good luck and wonderful, wonderful cause. ^

Just goto http://www.justgiving.com/CT-UK and not the dreamflight link. That'll get you sorted.

Thank you SQFAN.
It's hanging up on "your address detail" page when I use the drop down list to select Australia as the country (this is where my card is registered). I tried twice so far without success. I'll try again tomorrow.
