What follows is an email from Jon to all of his workmates;
Hi
Well……………… We made it.
We turned up in Byron Bay around 4:00pm on the Sunday the 27th without any injuries or major incidents.
A massive thanks to everyone who helped us along the way, especially our support crew of Ken Schoemaker, Reegan Cussworth, Ang and Glenn Whitehall and Ness Keogh.
We rode the bikes but they made it possible and were making sure the day ran smoothly before we started and after we stopped riding.
There were a lot of other people who helped along the way but I’ll not start mentioning names as I’ll people out because of my sieve memory.
Thanks also to Steve and Marshall (the other two nutcase riders) for putting up with my idiosyncrasies and supporting me on the not so good for me days.
We saw some amazing countryside and met some really interesting people along the way.
I didn’t throw my bike into the ocean at Byron, the place is too pretty to litter, my bike is leaning up against the wall at the back of my house, last seen with a couple of spiders eyeing it off.
It wasn’t about a bike ride though, it was about raising awareness of and money for Steve and Mozart’s charity Hope and Care for Little Souls, I believe we have raised a bit over $260,000 of our $500,000 target.
A massive thankyou for everyone who contributed to our fundraising efforts and to those who are still about to, every dollar is greatly appreciated, Steve and Mozart will achieve a lot from your generosity.
