Welcome to my new website, that is totally dedicated to raising funds to support children affected by cancer.

Run Ricky Run provides a direct link between your willingness to donate money to a fantastic cause and my ability to make runs for Australia. All you need to do is tell me how much you’re willing to donate for every run I score in the 2009 Ashes Test series.

For example, if you think I’ll have a great Test series (and I certainly hope I do!!) then you might want to donate 25 cents for every run I score. If I score 500 runs in the five Test series (that’s an average of 50 runs in every one of the 10 innings possible in the five Test series), your donation would be $125, payable when the series is completed. You can also make a fixed donation if you don’t want to rely on how many runs I score.

Every run I score in the Ashes Tests will trigger a donation from the Foundation to one of its beneficiary charities and 100% of the proceeds raised will be distributed to beneficiaries. So you can see that there’s a fair bit riding on me getting runs in England, which I wouldn’t have any other way.

Please give as generously as you can and join me to make a real difference in the fight against childhood cancer.

Thanks for your support,

Ricky Ponting
