Mike rode 130kms today somewhere in the bush half way between Kalgoolie & Southern Cross. So, that means we only have 460kms to go! At this point of time we are a fair bit in front & plan to arrive in Perth next Tuesday 20th January. We should be at the Town Hall around midday to be greeted by the Lord Mayor & the W.A. cancer team. Mike will be on Perth radio 6pr with Howard Sattler that evening around 5.30pm.
Great to hear from our family in Sweden, we miss you guys. Give Charlie & Gabrielle a big hug from us.
Ok, I will let you all know why we are in front. Mike could tell I didn't like the camping bit (I didn't complain - he just could tell) so he pushed himself to go further each day & skipped a day of rest. Part of me feels a bit guilty about it & the other part is just soooo grateful. I am also glad because it means we will get home a little sooner, hopefully in time for the start of the new school year.
Now we are on the last leg, only 5 days left, so if you have been thinking of making a donation, now will be a good time. Mike has worked so hard and has pushed himself & suffered a great deal of discomfort & a fair bit of pain, it would be great if he acheived his goal of raising $10,000 to help raise money for cancer research. Every dollar helps. Your good wishes & words of encouregment also help to keep him going, so thank you to everyone who has posted a message on this web site & sent text messages.
Cheers for now,
Julie.
