Get Bex her very own Tiger tracksuit/onesie

$715 of $1,000 goal
Given by 17 generous donors in 8 weeks

Bex has asked for nothing by way of support... until now. Tiger. Grrrrrr

Nationwide

It's a long story, but I might have managed to get myself an authentic team track suit for Bex already... so no need to add any $$ at the moment.

If it all works out as I hope, I'll track down anyone that has donated already and figure out a refund. cheers

Pete

______________________________________

For those that don't know me, I'm Pete - Bex's workmate at Z. We've worked together a few times, and I was the one who referred her to join Z in the first place.

If you're like me, you've admired how strong Bex has been with dealing with all of this. From the beginning I wanted to help her out, but the only thing I've ever seen her ask is to "treat her like normal"... even going so far as telling me she was going to punch the next person that asked her "how she was feeling". Needless to say, I promptly asked her if she was feeling okay. I now walk with a limp.

Anyway, independent-&-strong Bex has made it pretty clear to me that she doesn't need anything... until now that is. If you've read her below update email, it says

"Is it just me or is [Comm Games] Wrestling just a little wrong???? Some of those camera angles….. And I so want a Malaysian track suit, loving the tiger, it rocks!!!"

Just in case it wasn't clear, she says: "...I so want a Malaysian track suit...".

BINGO! I've finally figured out how I can help Bex at last. For the sheer fun of it, I'm going to arrange to get her a replica Malaysian Comm Games team Tiger designed track suit. Exactly like these pictures that I stole from Google.

I have no idea how I'm going to do this, but I realised that I mightn't be the only one that saw this obvious opportunity to do something for Bex (because A) it's a laugh and B) she would think it's funny). Clearly it would be a bit stink if someone else also gave her a tiger track suit, so I figured I'd email you all and offer you the chance to get in to it too. More the merrier!

So, if you think it's a good (or ridiculous) idea & you're happy for me to do all the organising, add in whatever you want with a comment.

I have no idea how much it'll cost so if I end up with too much $$, I'll just get her two of them.

...or maybe a Malaysian team tiger designed bikesuit for her next triathlon.

...or a Malaysian team tiger designed onesie or a snuggy. Who knows, but it'll be a bit of fun and very awesome - whatever happens, I'll make sure that you all see the photos of it too!

Please note - this isn't a big-everyone-have-a-hug-love-in-thing that she'd hate, it's just about having a laugh.

Oh, and Bex doesn't need to know anything about it yet either.

You will look stellar in this Bex! Quite jealous and thinking I may want one too. And you so deserve a laugh. Have been amazed at how you've handled chemo. Such a trooper. And stoked I could be there for you for a change through this.
