Dedicated Fan Gets Eurail Tattoo to Realize 80-Year Old Parents' Dream


UTRECHT, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    "My name is Grant Burton and I'm from Australia and I have my parents'

40th Wedding Anniversary coming up soon." This is Burton's introduction to

Eurail.Com of his long treasured dream: allowing his parents to travel

through Europe one last time. To realize this dream, Burton, self appointed

Eurail's biggest fan, is willing to represent the Eurail experience for the

rest of his life.


    Existing well over 50 years, the Eurail train Passes that allow almost

unlimited rail travel in Europe have many loyal customers. But never has

Eurail.Com experienced such a fan dedication as with the 30-year old

Australian.


    Celebrating his parents' anniversary, Burton is looking to offer them a

special gift. His father's biggest wish is to see Germany again. "My Dad is

nearly 80 and won't get much of a chance to see his old friends," he writes.

Burton, who travelled with Eurail last year, thinks that Eurail Passes would

be perfect for this present. Grant, currently unemployed, does not have the

resources to pay for the Eurail Passes. That is when he got the idea to


free Eurail Passes for his parents.


    "We feel that Grant's initiative to immortalize our brand is the summit

of Eurail enthusiasm," Chantal Sukel, Campaign Manager of Eurail.Com BV

comments. "Allowing more enthusiastic fans to live their dream, we will

launch a campaign around Grant's idea. From February 15, everybody can post

us their story or idea for "Biggest fans travel for free" on our website and

Eurail Facebook Fan Page. The most passionate and creative customers will

earn a free Eurail Pass."


    Burton will travel to Europe with his parents autumn 2010 to show his

tattoo in the Dutch Eurail.Com office. Eurail.Com offers him a sponsorship of

his trip if 10000 people support Grant Burton on Facebook. Visit Burton's

Facebook Group to follow his inspiring story.
