Hello Travelers!

One of our friends in Rome, Italy turned us on to Kris Mole, self-professed slacker now turned fund raiser, from England who is traveling to each European capital to raise money for cancer in the memory of his late aunty, Susan Proto.  Here is the catch, on November 1st Kris turned up in Stockholm, Sweden without a pence in his pocket.   So, for the last month he has been traveling through Europe while living on the kindness of others and on his wits.  To date Kris has raised about $1,800 / 950 Sterling.  Kris threatens that if he raises 2000 Sterling by January 1, 2008 he will stand naked at the Eiffel Tower with, “Message to the French, garlic is not a deodorant” written across his chest.  I suppose that in itself is a reason to donate….maybe? 

Kris’s exploits can be followed both on his blog and if you are a FaceBookie then you can join his group “The Great Euro Freebie Challenge”. 

Kris, Good Luck and Happy Travels
