I found this article while looking for fundraising tips and ideas. I’ve recently created a part fundraising/part documentary blog for an Australian children’s cancer charity. Starting in October 2010 myself and 50 other motorcycles will spend five weeks riding around Australia (14,000kms) to raise funds towards “Answers for Kids Cancer”.

I plan to use my blog as the central point for my fundraising activities, as a medium to raise awareness about the cause and as a personal diary about this journey I’ll be going on.

I’m hoping through the blog I will be able to generate interest on a number of levels – fellow motorcyclists interested in big journeys, philanthropists looking for a cause to support, people interested in gadgets, people interested in things Australian, and those just looking for something a little different.

My plan is to push each of those buttons on a regular basis and build up the blog’s profile – so it will be interesting to see how things pan out.

Thanks for the interesting site.
