CompassSport is supporting Orienteer Ian Purchase's attempt to raise a million for Kidney Research. He writes " I am a 30 year old who has suffered renal problems my whole life. I have had 34 operations and am currently undergoing treatment for a 3rd kidney transplant. I am alive because of the people who do research into kidney disease." He goes on to say " I took up Orienteering to get fit for a kidney transplant whilst on dialysis and I have become addicted!" So Ian is asking you to donate 2gbp at http://www.justgiving.com/
the cost of a cheap pint. We hope you feel moved to give a little..
Half Price copy of CompassSport - JUN07 or OCT07
We have quite a few JUN07 issues left over and so are offering them for only 2gbp, rather than collecting dust in the CompassSport office, we feel they should be out there being read. (Other back issues are 4gbp). So for a limited time only, you can get a cheap taster of the magazine by mailing me Nick (at) CompassSport.co.uk with your address. I will post one to you when I receive your cheque or internet transfer.
