And the winner is.....

It's getting harder each year to think of new ways to draw the winner of Stuart's Million Paws Walk Competition.  And with the generosity of our sponsors growing each year, some of the old methods are just not realistic (or healthy!).  This year, with everyone receiving an entry for each $10 they donated, there were 102 entries (excluding anonymous entries and Mathew, who elected not to be part of the draw).  I'm sure Ellen would be willing, but I felt we needed to look at something other than asking her to eat 102 sausages!

Fortunately, Stuart agreed to draw the prize himself this year.

Each entry was assigned a number, which was written on a small white ball.  The balls were thoroughly mixed in a bowl, and Stuart was asked to choose the winning ball.  The first ball removed from the bowl by Stuart was deemed to be the winner.

Thank you once more to all the generous supporters of this great cause.  Thanks to your efforts, Team Stuart the Cat raised $1206 for the RSPCA, and was the fifth-highest fundraising team in the ACT.

Hope you enjoy the film!

million paws walk competition


It only seems like a few months ago we were participating in our last Million Paws Walk!  But it's come around again, so Stuart has been giving lots of thought to this year's competition.  His fifth!

Ellen might not be as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as she was five years ago, but she will have plenty of energy on Sunday 18 May for her walk.  She simply knows it's important to be well rested.


Although he is going to let Ellen the Dog do the actual walking, Stuart is very proud to announce that, once more, one of Ellen's wonderful sponsors will win $200 worth of Stuart's jewellery.

This year Stuart has got together a team, so you can sponsor any members of Team Stuart the Cat to enter the competition!

For each $10 you donate to Team Stuart the Cat you will receive one entry in the prize draw.  So, if you donate $50, you get five entries.  All donations are greatly appreciated by Stuart, Ellen and the RSPCA in Canberra.  Donations above $2 are tax-deductible.

If you would like to make a donation, please visit Stuart's fundraising page at https://mpw-act-2014.everydayhero.com/au/stuart-the-cat

Donations received up to 11:59 on May 24th 2014 will be eligible for the competition.  The prize draw will be conducted on Sunday May 25th, and the winner will be notified by email on May 27th.  On this day, Stuart will also post a film of the prize draw on this blog. It will be hilarious, cinematically brilliant and thought-provoking.  You can see last year's prize draw here.

Thank you for supporting this fantastic cause, and good luck to all of Ellen's sponsors!
