Jason and myself (Garry) would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Hopefully yours and your family's wishes all came true over the festive season. Now it's time to party into the New Year.
But before I / we go, a quick recap of the year that's about to pass and some thank you's. Bring on the visual blur and music as we reminisce of times past. If you have some of those funky incense sticks now's the time to light them:
2010 was an interesting year to say the least for The Long Road. Jason went and hit me up with this grand scheme of travelling the world and it all began (ok, he didn't need to ask, I actually put my hand up).
The name we chose for this trip, The Long Road, has certainly lived up to itself. What was thought to be easy has been a real hard slog with setting things up, hunting down what we will need, trying to spread the word of what we are doing and attempting to get sponsors on board. But we have progressed through with the simple thought of why we are doing this and, as I'm sure, all Parkinsons and Cancer sufferes have done it tougher. We remain positive that this will be a success.
By the way we are still looking for sponsors and equipment suppliers so if you know anyone that can help out please pass on the good word and our details or let us know and we will send through our sponsor pack.
Now to the "Thank You's":
To everyone that has helped us so far, a big thank you. Cycle City Ballarat who jumped on board from the start, Sam from Tour De Cure who helped at the beginning in guiding us to and through places we had never been to previously or even thought about. To those charities we are supporting, Parkinsons Australia (NSW), Cure Cancer Australia, Livestrong (The Lance Armstrong Foundation), and Team Fox (The M J Fox Foundation), thankyou for your time and patience. We are slowly but surely getting to our goal start date. To all our followers on this site, Face Book and Twitter, thank you for simply being there and watching as we bumble our way through.
Last but not least, thank you to our families. You have supported both Jason and I through this hairbrained idea and pushed when we needed to be pushed, even if you think we are stupid to be doing it. We've not left yet so the stupidity hasn't even started.
In closing I hope everone has a great New Years. Stay safe but most of all have fun. 2011 here we come.
