Hurt2Help are running the TransAlpineRun 2010!

This September our husband and wife team will retrace the footsteps of Hannibal:

296km - 8 Days - 17700m Ascent - Across Germany, Austria and Italy.

All in aid of Facing Africa, a little-known British charity concerned with the prevention and cure of the merciless disease Noma.

Their surgical rehabilitation of survivors is heartbreakingly wonderful and more than worthy of buckets of our sweat in the hope of filling buckets with your donations!

We are Shelley and Gav Phillips. Follow our journey ..

Fundraising .. Aus-style ..

Last weekend the rain cleared and out came the sun and a great big batch of Taree, NSW, Australia's golfers!

In my home town it was time for the charity golf day my father, Peter Burke (or PB as he is known by friends), arranged in aid of Facing Africa.

Donations from golfers, Club Taree and a well-subscribed raffle have added another huge slug to the Taree-end of this fundraising push .. well done Taree and well done Dad!

Thank you to the Manning River Times and Mick McDonald for their support and the pictures below ..
