The day has arrived

As I type this post I’m only a few hours away from being locked in a small cell at Fremantle Prison.

At 9 o’clock Perth time this morning the door will close behind me and I’ll start broadcasting my morning radio programme on 98.5 Sonshine FM. If you want to try listening in to all the fun we’re likely to have you can click here then click the Listen Now live streaming button. If you’re wondering about the time difference just click here to see what 9 o’clock will be in your part of the world. I’ll be broadcasting until midday Perth time.

The Programme Director has found a lot of music with a jail or freedom feel so we’re planning to milk it for all it’s worth. I’ll also be chatting to quite a number of people who are connected to the cause of Cystic Fibrosis.

If you want full details of how to donate and the cause behind my short prison stay, just read my previous post. The basics are I’ll be asking people to donate towards Cystic Fibrosis WA so that I can be released. I need your help to pull off my own prison break.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common life threatening, recessive genetic condition affecting Australian children and is the second most common life-shortening, childhood onset inherited disorder in the United States. For such a serious condition it really doesn’t get a lot of attention.

If you’d like to help me out simply click here then scroll down the page and select Convicts for a Cause Donation. Type ‘Rodney Olsen’ into the text box and select the amount you’d like to donate.

Donations can be accepted on Visa or MasterCard. Please keep in mind that the amounts are in Australian Dollars and of course the tax deductibility is only available in Australia. If you’re not in Australia and you’d like to work out the exchange rate you can work it out through this currency converter.

Thank you for your help with this. Together we can make a very big difference for families who can really do with our support and encouragement.
