Team MOG supporting Down Syndrome NSW through Tuff Truck Challenge, 2011

TEAM MOG* consisting of Geoff Thompson (Thommo) and Owen Griffis with assistance from staff members at Thompson (Taree) Motor Body Builders Pty. Ltd., friends and local businesses is once again entering Tuff Truck Challenge 2011 to be held at Milbrodale NSW on 8th/9th/10th April, 2011.

 

1. The crew at Thommo’s still love everything to do with trucks!

 

2. Any prize/sponsorship money will be donated to Down Syndrome NSW.

Thommo’s middle grandson, Flynn, was diagnosed with Down syndrome a few weeks a^er his birth in March, 2007. The support received from Down Syndrome NSW has been invaluable since then and Flynn’s family would like to assist them with their fundraising efforts in appreciation of this and to help ensure that other families are able to access that same support if and when needed.

One of the things Down Syndrome NSW do is to initiate or support sign language classes. In an effort to ease Flynn’s frustration due to delayed vocalisation he has been learning sign language and it is awe-inspiring to see his confidence in that medium.

 

All costs associated with participation by Team MOG in this event e.g. entry fee, fuel etc. will be totally covered by Team MOG themselves so that every cent raised through sponsorship will go straight to Down Syndrome NSW.

 

You can support Team MOG by sponsoring their entry.

 

Every donation towards sponsorship over $2.00 is tax deductible.

Every donation towards sponsorship $500.00 or over entitles that individual, family or business to free signage on the MOG cab for the duration of the competition.

 

Cheques can be made out to Down Syndrome Association of NSW.

 

EFT can be made:
