Convict for a Cause

Have I teased you enough with my last post?

This Friday morning, the 27th of April, I will be broadcasting my 98.5 Sonshine FM radio programme from Fremantle Prison, where I’ll be locked in a cell. 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.

I’ll tell you more about Cystic Fibrosis in my next post.

What can you do to support families who are battling CF?

Firstly, you can help me to get the word out. If you publish a blog please link to this post. Can I ask you to email people that you know to highlight what I’ll be doing? Please help me get the word out to as many people as possible.

The other way you can help is by donating. 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. I’ve created an example which you can see in the picture in this post. Once you’ve done that just continue to follow the links as prompted.

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.
