Heading anywhere nice over the weekend?

If you’re getting a cab there or back then please take a few minutes to have a conversation with your driver.

Not the usual, “I’m off to the pub mate.” Tell him/her something they will remember.

Explain what the 40 minute fundraise is. Tell them what you’re up to. Talk about George, Saviour and the community at Simakakata.

And mention the website: www.40minutefundraise.com.

Make the conversation stick in your drivers mind. Brighten up their day. You never know, they may mention it to a few of their other passengers over the weekend.
