Please I need your Help!!!
Hi,Everyone
My name is Erin-Louise, I am 25years old and living with an autoimmune disease called Lupus.
More people have Lupus than AIDS, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Sickle cell anemia and Cystic Fibrosis
combined, which makes Lupus Australia’s least recognized major disease; however thousands still go undiagnosed or are misdiagnosed due to the lack of
awareness and understanding of this complex disease.
To help raise much needed awareness and funds for this wide spread yet little know disease I will be walking from Brisbane to Sydney
dressed as an orange butterfly with my support crew of Vee Dubs not far behind, Starting on the 9th of May 2010 and finishing on June 13th 2010.
The reason for this post is that everything for this walk has been self funded and at the moment I seem to be running out of time and funds to finish
my support crew vehicles, I own a '68' Beetle and a '76' Kombi Ute, I also had a Kombi camper until it was stolen 
I am seeking any assistance with giving these gems the love and attention they deserve. also wanting support from Vee Dub lovers to join in and get
involved in this event.

Hi Silver,
Thanks for the reply. and your generous offer to want to donate to the cause =) much appreciated.
Hmmm what needs doing you ask? Well... scary but practically an overhaul on the beetle, its in pretty good condition but still needs interior and to
be resprayed. The Ute is being resprayed at the moment. I had a camper van but unfortunately that was stolen and long gone, so now im trying to get a
motor home sponsor?....running out of time and just haven't had the $ to get it all done before the walk, Im getting quiet desperate, hence the shout
out the other VW lovers. I chose VW as Ive owned them for the past 9 yrs and as the old saying goes never never give up. my vision
was to have a mass following of VWs at the start and finish of the walk.... but time is of the essence and just got my permit through.
