Hey Brothers of the Brooms,
I am about to take part in the White Ribbon Foundation "Trek for Respect" in September 2017. The trek is being held to raise funds to educate young people about domestic and family violence and how to have respectful relationships.
After working in the community service sector for the past 12 x years I have seen and worked with many young people affected directly from family violence. In 2013 I became I White Ribbon Ambassador as my work moved to working with Men and now working with Men who are enacting violence within their families and are looking for a better way to do their relationships.
I am asking anyone who would like to donate straight to white Ribbon to support my cause. Please follow this link:trek4respect.everydayhero.com/au/sign-up
All donation are tax deductible and very appreciated.
I will be at Scotts Head Comp this weekend I you would like to say hey or learn anything about the Trek or the work we do in Men's Domestic Violence Behaviour Change Programs http://stepupmate.com.au/on the Mid North Coast of NSW. Cheers Ian Robinson
Well done MyBro, awesome attitude and a cause well worth supporting.
It is a shame that a lot of men do not step up to the mark as a reasonable person.
I hope you get a lot of support and others take on your very worthwhile cause.
ET.
Cheers heaps ET, as you can tell by the massive response to this post.....pfffftttt its an up hill battle, but as Men able to work with Men around the hurt n harm they cause within their families, we are whole heatedly in the game to end Domestic & Family Violence as we all have Women in our live that we would hate to see this happen too,
Cheers all,
Ian

So you're happy to help out if it's for women in the US.. but not for women in Oz?
Just kidding.. 
.. btw it's great that they have PayPal on their system and you can easily offer any amount no matter how big or small.
Just a reminder that tax time is coming and all donations over $5 are tax deductible and going to a great cause, helping us teach our young Men the right way to treat our Girls and Women.
''Fact: on average 2 x Australian Women are killed by their current or ex- partner every week!!!''
'Every week'..

Much appreciated DJ, I could rattle off some more very sobering stats but if anyone is interested go to : www.whiteribbon.org.au/ read Simone's story
Its why we are targeting early intervention/primary prevention strategies to educate kids cause in 2017 this sh%t shouldn't be happening to our mothers. aunties, cousins, sisters, daughters and friends
Hey Brothers and Sisters of SUP,
The response to my post has been massive and I have exceeded my fund raising goal by nearly $500, but we are still going hard to raise as much as possible to help end Men's violence against Women in OZ. To those legends who donated and spread the word on my cause, HUGE thank you to you.
Cheer,
Ian "Robbo" Robinson
