The Telethon Adventurers

I wish Rick and his fellow climbers all the very best for their assault on Mont Blanc.

Over the last nine years, my wife Rianna and I have been busy doing everything we can to support children and their families affected by cancer. The Ponting Foundation provides funding for a wide range of essential services that comfort and nurture the child while providing emotional support and financial assistance for their family.

I am extremely proud to put my name to Rick’s inspiring initiative and know that he will be successful in making a significant difference to Ward 3B. I will be with everyone in spirit as they climb Mont Blanc and look forward to hearing of the overall outcome. I also encourage all Australians to get behind the cause and make a donation to the ‘Climb for Childhood Cancer’ – you can help Rick and the team to do their bit in the battle against this disease.

All the very best

Ricky Ponting
