Sars in Uganda

So a while back, the delightful Sara Carghill ventured off to Uganda, carrying with her a bunch of discs that folks in Brisbane donated. Here's what's happened since then.

Hi folks,

I really wanted to send out a massive thank you to everyone who donated a disc for me to take to Uganda - especially the Mcnaughton dynasty who once again demonstrated their limitless generosity!

I wish I had videoed the responses of some of the recipients - they were pretty happy!

I was actually very lucky and managed to make friends with a Peace Corps teacher who was already teaching Ultimate to her students. She was doing this with a couple of fairly sad looking discs, so to give each student a relatively shiny disc of their own made a huge difference to everyone's enthusiasm!

I was able to join in on a few of the games - these involved dodging the anthill mid field, avoiding the goat in the endzone, steering clear of the machete weilding sideline grass cutters and having such a cracking good time!

Just to let you know where the discs ended up:
1. A teachers college- they're aiming to get to the annual tournament in Kampala this year
2. A local school for the deaf

Thanks again!!

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

The title of this post was so lame, we donated $20 to Colette's Shave for a Cure effort in support of Leukaemia research. Why don't you?

Hi everyone,
I'm taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation World's Greatest Shave this year! So in exactly one week I'll be a true egg-head - EEK!!! Now that the initial buzz of signing up has worn off, it's actually rather intimidating. Be awesome and help to inject a little courage into my campaign by supporting my shave online:

For those sadistic freaks among you who want to see the removal of my mane in person (you sick puppies!), I'll be shaving it on Saturday after the last game at the
regionals tournament (~5pm at JF O'Grady fields in Fairfield).

Your support means a lot to me, and to the thousands of people affected by Leukaemia every day:- Every hour of every day, at least one person in Australia is
diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma.- Every two hours, someone loses
their life to blood cancer. Please help me raise as much as I can for the Leukaemia Foundation. Their vital work provides patients with practical support during their long and tough treatment, as well as funding important research (which I see quite a lot of as the Health RAO!).

Thanks for your
support!Colette
