Johnny Boy's Walkabout Blog

I have chosen not to use a fundraising portal. Although easy for you to use, some take 6.5% of your donation. I guarantee that every cent you donate will go to Beryl Women Inc.

1. Donate via EFT to my account BSB 082-924, Account Number 416001154, Account Name JR and GM Evans, National Australia Bank Please include Cbr100 in your transaction identification

2. Donate via Paypal here to me at john@johnevans.id.au or 0417436877

3. Give me cash (orange or green notes preferred!)

PLEASE EMAIL TO ME AT john@johnevans.id.au YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND AMOUNT DONATED SO THAT A RECEIPT FOR TAXATION PURPOSES AND MY STEWARDSHIP OF YOUR DONATION CAN BE SENT TO YOU

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

There are a number of points where you can drive to join the course and give me a wave, a cheer/jeer or walk along for a while (walking will be at your own risk – I have to wear a hi-vis vest and use a head torch at night, I know the route in detail; quick walking in the day and slower during the night). Give me a ring on 0417436877, or check my Twitter feed or Facebook page.
