Canberra Times Article 18 th February 2012
Letter to the editor
by Ken Eynon, Latham
It amuses me the number of locals and Australians engaging in raising money for charity by undertaking such things like running, cycling, climbing, and many more activities but all in overseas locations (Best feet forward for the London run", February 16, p 10.
Not to take anything away from local charities, but surely the costs to get to these overseas locations, the fees to enter these overseas events and the support team needed in many instances are not cheap?
Far better to do the activity locally, reduce the costs and give the money saved to the charity. More so when all the money raised is local.
