Story

Hi. And thanks for stopping by. We are a group of like-minded advertising, media, and digital guys who have got together to do something to make the world a slightly better place. In November we shall be heading out to South Eastern Tanzania as part of The Great Football Giveaway 2010. And we really need your support to help us buy footballs to distribute to some of the most disadvantaged kids in the world. £10 buys one football, and spreads a lot of happiness. £20 buys two and spreads even more. So please give generously - it will be a good thing you're doing.

Our team for this adventure is:

Neil Perkin - digital media guy, chicken owner
Steve Farrell - creative director, and 'digital maker' from NYC
Darren Robson - Director at Penna, business coach extraordinaire
Matt Kandela - Director at Saatchi's London, gooner
Hugh Garry - who does "interesting digital things with Radio 1"
Willem Van Der Horst - strategist and hippo-fan, London

Justine & Bjorn Van Der Horst
Thomas Wagner - comms science student from Vienna
