Melbourne, Australia If only he had managed to fundraise
$1 million for the multiple sclerosis (MS) organization, Matthew Curran was
ready to find a Viking ship and take a crew to plunder the Tasmanian town of
Lindisfarne. Not that he has anything against the good folk of
Lindisfarne, but it’s always helpful to set goals when trying to achieve big
tasks. As it is, Mr Curran managed to
raise $900 and will tackle tomorrow’s 10km annual MS Walk and Fun Run dressed
as a Viking, including full chain mail. Mr Curran said while the dress-up theme
appealed to his love of history, fun and all things Viking, he was driven by a
more serious commitment to raise money for research into MS, a neurological
condition, which has impacted generations of his family. www.fundraising-ideas.org
