Sausage Sizzle for Challenge

Hi everyone

I would like to say a massive thanks to all the chooks (and husbands and sons) who pulled together a wonderful day on Saturday where we raised just over $700 for Challenge - supporting kids with cancer through a really successful sausage sizzle...amazing...i dont think any of us imagined how many snags people can eat! At one stage we went through nearly 50 snags in 5 mins...it was incredible!

So thanks to all of our friends who came down to give us a hand (and eat our snags!)...it really was a great few hours to raise money for a wonderful cause!

Speaking of causes...the time has come again for Worlds Greatest Shave! Pete and i have not committed to a shave this year (because last years was so huge!)...but we have set up a memorial page for those of you who would like to donate to a wonderful cause in melon's memory. I think we will do it on an annual basis as it makes it easier for those who want to donate yearly, we can do it through that website, specifically for the Leukaemia Foundation.

For those that got to know Jenny Breheny (guru from Leukaemia Foundation-Gippsland), she and hubby dave are expecting their first baby which is super exciting for them...so we will have to make the most out of using her wonderful expertise in fundraising! As i said, we are not shaving this year, but we certainly invite people to join "Melonhead" if you would like to run your own shave/wax, or donate in memory of melon...if you are interested, just go to:

www.worldsgreatestshave.com, search Jodie Simpson and you should find us no problem. If you are keen to join, just let me know via melon's email eli-simpson@hotmail.com and we can hook you up.

Anyways..best go for now...would just like to say a massive thanks to everyone for their continued support, and we will be in touch again soon.

Happy australia day
luv and hugs
