Everyone in the 40K Foundation Team is going to kill themselves (or die trying) by running in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival, to raise money for 40K (
www.40k.com.au). That's not to mention all the hours of blood, sweat and tears (mostly tears) and kilometres of training we will put in through blistering heat and driving rain.
40K is a youth led, Australian based non-profit organisation that takes on joint venture projects to reduce poverty in developing communities around the world in a sustainable manner. Our maiden project is in India, where we are building a bridging school to benefit the children of exploited quarry workers in the rural slums around Bangalore. You can check it all out at
www.40k.com.au.
40K has launched its Golden Granite Challenge, which is about getting people to take on challenges whilst raising funds for 40K. It can be any challenge, anywhere around the world. This could be running a marathon, not cutting your hair or shaving for a year, or just giving up alcohol (we'd rather run). Challengers will take a piece of granite taken from a quarry in India to remind them of the challenges that these exploited quarry workers face daily. And if this wasn't enough, it gives you a chance for ultimate glory: to join us in the 40K Golden Granite Hall of Fame.
Please dig deep and give generously, anything you're able to give will be greatly appreciated and will make a huge difference.
Please forward on this web page to anyone you think might be interested in giving 40K a hand or participating in the Golden Granite Challenge. If you want to take on the granite and challenge yourself, get in touch with the team at 40K on (02) 9221 4030.
Thanks so much for your support,
Everyone in the 40K Foundation Team
