Do love an adventure...Stuff like this means more to me now than the usual ride outs with mates. Big respect for doing this buddy..which woulda be handier, a donation to the cause or the running costs? Speak soon old son..
I am paying for EVERYTHING out of my own pocket mate. Every single penny I raise is going to the troops. I wont even take a tank of gas out it. Lets face it, its not a chore, is it. Riding through a beautiful continent with my best mate for 17 days. I am only able to do something like this because these brave people put themselves on the line. I don't consider it charity. I think of it as trying to repay a debt. And now I sound like a smug twat.
I plan to actually take the CASH (justgivig goes straight to them) I raise (through work, friends and so on) to the hospital with some pictures to show the guys and girls where the money came from and how I generated it. They don't often get visitors. Especially the old guys. Some supper cool people in there too. Tell you stories that would make your toe nails curl.
I can keep you posted with progress mate. You can pick us up where suits and drop off when your tired :lol
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
