Campainging is amazingly random!...
I cannot believe what happened today. After I had finished my filming with Raw TV and pestered people on the road, I headed over to University to attend a lecture.
On the way there, I bumped into international superstar Apache Indian. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_...

Now I've grown up idolising Apache Indian, he's one of those 'too cool' musicians and he's loved by everyone in the industry. Namely because he fused reggae with bhangra!

After a double take, I approached him and naturally introduced my campaign.
'I want to raise awareness of the dangers of the road through music'.
Apache Indian replied, 'What you're doing is absolutely brilliant and I can link you to some of my contacts who can help you'
How randomly magnificent was that? Not only have I potentially got publicity in the form of a famous face but what ever support I can get via the music industry will be beyond valuable. Apache Indian has provisionally agreed to meet me tomorrow at 3p.m. This guy is super busy and i'm looking forward to what direction the campaign will take with him on board. I now have the backing of one my favourite musicians!
So i've learnt that when you've got a cause worth shouting about, shout as loud as you can. Speak to as many people as possible, every person is a potential link to make the campaign bigger, better and the message louder!

Never forget your facts...!
I wanted to draw on one of my comments below about there not being any hard data facts or citeable refrence to prove my claims about Road Crashes. I agree, I definitely think this important information is necessary. I definitely think I need to state reliable hard statistics and the source from wher...
