Good morning NFL Board peeps,
Some of you may remember last year I was calling out to ask for help getting some stuff together for my mate Craig who's battling terminal Thyroid Cancer. I was trying to get a hold of some celebrities to film a segment for his birthday party... we had some success getting a few things together, but I just wanted to share a few things with you all that have happened since then.
As part of the party, unbeknownst to Craig, we held a fund raiser to try and fulfill one of his bucket list wishes of a sightseeing flight over Antarctica. The good news is that with the help of friends, family, corporate and business sectors, and sporting clubs around Melbourne, we raised over $4000 in a short amount of time and in February this year that wish became a reality.
There's a long story behind the next part, but as a way to laugh in the face of Cancer he started taking photos for a series called Naked Tuesdays where he would be completely starkers and would have something covering his privates... well it's become a bit of a phenomenon, and with the help of Adam Hills and his show Adam Hills Tonight on the ABC, it's taken off!
We ventured down to a photography studio in Elwood last Friday to take a series of "iconic" photographs which were recreated Naked Tuesday style, and filmed the whole thing which will appear as a segment on the Adam Hills Tonight show at 8.30pm tonight on ABC1. Yes, Adam does nude up, as does Lawrence Mooney... (I was going to join in on the last shot, but the segment went over time and the photographer who was already introduced into the story joined in on the hilarity!).
I'll be in the background of a couple of the video segments, and the outtakes video if they show it!
So, what I'm asking is, that if you could all help me spread the word, and promote the website (www.nakedtuesday.me) and the twitter feed @NakedTuesday, I'd be chuffed!
If you head to the website and read the "About" page, and check out the "Bucket List" page, you'll see what we've been able to achieve for this great man already...
Thanks for reading, and enjoy your day!
Regs, Pete
