Raising Funds to get to Australia

I was talking with a friend of mine who lives across the street. I told him I was returning to Australia to join the Sea Shepherd ship Steve Irwin. We're going to travel to the waters off Antarctica to stop illegal whaling by physically intervening. This will be my fourth trip to the Antarctic with the Sea Shepherds. I usually spend about three and a half months away from home, and it's all volunteer.

He was surprised that I was able to save enough money to go away. I admitted that I usually go into debt and work it off the next year. After a few days he came up with the idea of a fundraiser.

After only a few days he was able to get a location--the Lo Pub on Ellice and a date set-- the 22nd of November. There's going to be live music and door prizes. I'm liking the idea of a pirate theme.

I invite you all to come to the fundraiser, but if you can't attend and still want to help me pay for my trip then please click the Paypal button below.

Thanks
