The Year Ahead.

2012 is finely here and what a year it’s going to be for us, a year full of adventure and excitement, visiting new countries and experiencing new cultures as we embark on our journey half way around the world, but most importantly doing what we can to help raise awareness and funds for both Parkinson’s Disease and Cancer.

There are now only 3 months to go before we head of on our first leg up the east coast of Australia and our preparations are moving along nicely.
Over the past few weeks we have added two more charities that we will be supporting for our UK/EU leg of our trip, CHILDREN with CANCER UK and PARKINSON'S UK joining Cure Cancer Australia, Parkinson’s NSW, Livestrong and Michael J Fox Foundation for the Australian and US legs respectively.


 
In the next few weeks we will be making way to Adelaide, South Australia to begin our pre-tour ride to Melbourne, Victoria at the end of January.
It is during this time that we will be officially launching The Long Road Tour together with our all new website where you will be able to follow us as we roll down the road, The new site will also include information and online donation pages for all the charities involved throughout our tour.

Our bikes are also now coming together and will be ready to go in the next week or two, stay tuned for the forthcoming post where we will show our Burke and Wills touring bikes in greater detail.
