A friend who has had a tough last couple of years, fighting and winning her battle with breast cancer, is doing something positive to help others fight and win their battles with the condition. And now you can help her:
If you’re in Cape Town next week: please take time out to support the China Challenge Auction and Raffle evening in Noordhoek – see below.
If you’re a blogger – especially in South Africa: please publicise this post on your blog to get as many people as possible to support the evening and the cause.
Otherwise: Send cash! Hard currency goes a long way in South Africa right now. Rands are also accepted; Zim dollars possibly not, due to space constraints. Speak to your rich friends and email amanda@nanoson.com for banking details.
As you know we will be taking part in the China Challenge in April 2009, hiking along the Great Wall of China for 6 days. The aim of our hike is to raise awareness for girls like me (within South Africa) as well as raising donations for our chosen charity, St Luke’s Hospice, & medical research worldwide.
We have managed to secure some fabulous prizes, currently valued in excess of R90,000 – & that’s just to date!
Venue: Café Roux, Noordhoek Farm Village
Date & Time: Friday, 5th December 2008 at 19h00
RSVP: amanda@nanoson.com
by Tuesday, 2nd December 2008Raffle tickets will be priced at R100/ticket and will be on sale during the course of the evening.
Richard & I will be providing snack platters; Café Roux offer a full & extensive cash bar.
If you are unable to attend the evening, but would still like to stand in line to win one of our fantastic prizes please contact Amanda via email. Raffle tickets can be secured for you.
We would like to say a very special thank you to all of you for being involved in making our China Challenge 2009 dream become a reality – I, along with many other girls affected by breast cancer, will truly benefit from this awareness campaign.
PLEASE EXTEND THIS INVITATION TO ANY FAMILY OR FRIENDS WHOM YOU FEEL MAY BE INTERESTED IN SUPPORTING THIS SPECIAL EVENING AND OUR FUNDRAISING CAUSE.
With love,
Amanda & Richard
I’ve seen the list of auction items and raffle prizes. It is pretty spectacular. Weekend getaways in top class hotels, golf sticks, wine galore, food, watches, designer sunglasses, a night with the Ad Wizard* etc etc.
Yes, you can help, so do help. Thanks.
* Not yet apparently, but I’m sure she’s working on it.

Would be there like a bearded hippy at Skebangas on a Sunday if it was a week and a bit later.
I send virtual support from this side of the world.
Do I have to be there to take part in the raffle?
I am feeling kinda lucky and would like to support.
Have no zims or rands… but hope it’s a success anyway!
