What do I hope to achieve out of thisproject? |
Crossing Bass Strait for me is both a challenge of my limits and also a way of attracting the media's attention to raise funds and awareness for the Tasmanian devil. |
Why support the Tasmanian devil? |
The Tasmanian devil is widely regarded as Tasmania's unofficial mascot. With over 50% of the population affected by the disease and its recent listing on the endangered species list, something has to be done to help this famous Tassie icon. |
What motivates me? |
I am motivated by life. Every morning brings a new day, each being an opportunity make a difference in the place we live in. I derive a lot of my motivation through my heart to help others in life. In a sense this motivation is reflected through my desire to help the Tasmanian devil. |
