New Logo!




Cath Levett designed the Great COFE for CF a logo!
It has the Rose for CF (Cystic Fibrosis sometimes called Sixtyfive Roses) and my bicycle wheel! How did Cath know that is what it looked like? She is in London, I am in Tasmania!
Special thanks also goes to Kathryn Whitfield for making it happen!

Onya Cath!

Tullah Challenge

In preparation for the Great COFE for CF I entered the Tullah Challenge this weekend! Was loads of fun, but hard work. Needless to say I coughed the whole way!

No, I was not first, I was close to last in most events: Kayaking (5km), Riding (30km) and running (7.5km). Posted by Picasa

Necklace from Kenya on eBay Auction

The eBay Charity Auction is on! Do you think people would bid on it for The Great COFE for CF? Here is the necklace modeled by Amanda and Georgia. Surely it will do well, such lovely models and such worthy cause, and the necklace is made by the most wonderful people - read blog entry below!

Gift from Kenya


I received a beautiful necklace in the mail this week! It came from Joyce from Kenya! It was made by "ill women trying to make a living for their families". They are looking for a way to sell these items to generate money for these women. If anyone can help email me!

What Joyce suggested I do is auction it off to help with the funding I need. I think that eBay would be good as it would also link to The Great COFE website and could be good for promotion as well! Will give this a go soon! Sounds like a great plan to us. Posted by Picasa
