Two Mates - 35000Km To Support Victims Of Road Trauma
#1
Rhys and Sam (Rambo & Sambo) are planning to embark on a 35 000km walk around the



circumference of Australia to support families of the victims of death and serious



injuries on Australia's roads.



We are currently looking for expressions of interest from corporations, small and



medium businesses, schools, community groups and individuals for sponsorship.



Support has already been pledged from a number of high profile community



organisations, journalistic media, lawyers and individuals getting behind the



cause.



The foundation aims to attract major widespread attention and raise funds to



distribute a substantial monetary contribution. The goal is large, we hope to



raise upwards of 500k reaching into the possible millions.



Opportunities for sponsors include high exposure through social media channels,



association with a worthwhile cause and product endorsements. (high quality



website, facebook, twitter, phone applications etc.)





Please contact us by replying to this message directly or by emailing us at



ramboandsambo@gmail.com



If anything we hope you can offer some advice or point us in the direction of



someone who might be able to help.





Susanne's Story:



In 2011 Susanne and Linda decided to visit downunder from Holland both hoping for



the time of their lives. Two beautiful young girls in their early twenties.



Before they arrived in Australia, neither one knew each other. The girls soon



became the best of friends and quickly made plans to see the country together.



Early the following year fate would bring Rhys and Susanne into the same house in



Melbourne and they became lovers.



By February, the girls left for Western Australia lured by work and adventure.



Tragically, on March 3rd 2012 at 2:15pm on a dangerous stretch of dirt highway



just outside of the Town of Esperence a van struck the girl's vehicle from side



on. Susanne died instantly from the impact.



When paramedics arrived Linda was thought to have died also, but miraculously



regained her vital signs and was rushed to intensive care.



Linda spent a long time in hospital suffering from a punctured lung, broken ribs,



fractured pelvis and collarbone. She was unable to fly home due to her delicate



condition.



Police decided to arrest Linda for Dangerous Driving on suspicion of causing



Susanne's death. Linda was unable to remember the events leading up to the



accident. This made her case a difficult one.



Fortunately for Linda, in August 2012. A number of Residents of the town came



forward in court and testified that the road was extremely dangerous. It was later



found the cause of the accident was a stop sign obscured by a tree. The girls had



failed to see it.



Linda was found Not Guilty!



The medical and legal bills alone amount to over One Hundred and Fifty Thousand



Dollars.



Rhys and Sam are walking and working to help support families who have been



victims of similar incidents, including loss of their loved ones and to help raise



awareness on being safe while driving on Australia's roads.



The boys walk for Susanne and hope she hasn't died without her memory helping to



prevent another tragedy.
