Cast Away: Mike Robertson’s “Wilson” moment for a good cause!

Posted by Acro in Business, Domains, Social issues on January 23rd, 2011

This is an exclusive picture of Mike Robertson – Business Development Manager for Dark Blue Sea and Fabulous.com

Mike has been growing a beard for more than three weeks now, in order to help raise awareness about the devastating floods in Queensland, Australia.

Not only has Mike’s campaign helped raise a significant portion of the pledged money before Australia Day on January 26, but it has helped bring out a lot of the humor that Aussies are known for – including Paul Hogan of “Crocodile Dundee” fame :D

Mike’s sense of humor is evident in the exclusive photo below, with Mike Robertson posing with “Wilson” – the volleyball that Tom Hanks spent “quality time” with in the movie “Cast Away“.

Simply awesome!

Please help Mike and his campaign by donating to the cause – every dollar counts.

I will personally mail Mike a shaving kit once the goal is reached! :D

    For Mike to get THAT much “growth” would take at least 3 years- forget 3 weeks! But since he is one of the genuine NICE guys in this business, I’ll kick in my share. I’ll even hope to encourage a few others by MATCHING every other dollar ($25 USD min) pledge, up to $500 US. So, with a little luck we can quickly get up an additional $1,000. (But I really hope he KEEPS it- he was kinda wussy looking without it.) –Roy

    Roy – that’s very generous of you and indeed, we need more people to contribute with their dollar – no penny is too humble to be donated!

    Matt – awesome :D

    That’s a very generous offer of your Roy, thanks so much for your support; even if you did call me a “wussy!”

    Again, Theo, what can I say? Really appreciate it man. Only one more day to go and the beard is gone. Keep the donations coming in people, all for a good cause.
