About the Community

This year I am raising money for the UN High Commission for Refugees and the Asian Women's Welfare Association as part of my swim for the Aviva Ironman 70.3 Singapore 2010 Corporate Challenge.

For my reasons why, visit http://www.eshindirect.com/2010/03/01/swimming-for-a-cause/.

You can either:

1. Just donate outright (and be mighty generous)
2. Wait until I have completed the distance (to make you feel I've earned it)
3. Only donate when I've beaten my time last year of 58 mins (to make me really feel I've earned it!).

You can put forward a pledge (e.g. only donate if I reach a certain time) over here: http://www.ammado.com/community/112976/conversations/2410

A couple of things to note:
- Yes, my company sponsors the Aviva Ironman 70.3.
- No, I don't see a cent of what you donate and nor does my company.

C'mon and do something good today and support my swim for a cause! Even if it is a small donation of $10, it still adds to a much bigger pot.
