Sorry my time on the boards these days has been somewhat restricted of late... But I have been rather preoccupied...
Here is the latest Update for the Sydney to Coffs Harbour "Cycling For A Cure" MPN RIDE, that will commence as of this Saturday, April 10.
Initially, we will set out from Castle Hill Showground, as originally planned by say 9AM, in time to meet up with Stage1 Riders who are planning on tackling a Mangrove Mountain Climb with me for the Stage1 Ride, (it's a really tough climb...) :<[
This event will now commence from the Wiseman's Ferry location that was hit very hard by the recent floods, and just our starting there might help a little with visitors slowly returning, as the big mop up continues no doubt...
Here below is a copy of some local Press from the Hills Independent News Paper for April 2021
To all of you who have supported us in anyway to see this event take place, please accept our gratitude, and thank many thanks for your generous donations.
For anyone wishing to contribute, please follow this Link to our "Giving To MPNs Page", thank you all so much:
It will prove an interesting adventure too I hope, as we will be passing through many of the small towns & communities recently adversely affected by all the Flooding in coastal NSW
Thank you so much for your support, it is all so nice to receive so many well-wishers for what we are trying to achieve by this Fundraiser & MPN AWARENESS event.
It would be nice if doctors knew what MPNs were, before I had to inform them...
It has taken over a year to return to a Starting position for the "Cycling For A Cure" event...
First NSW suffered from a severe drought, followed by fatal bush-fires, then CV–19, (which in turn closed all the borders), and most recently the entire east coast (almost), was inundated by the worst floods I have ever known of in my lifetime...
What a year and a half hey...! Unbelievable, though it has all happened just the same...
Much of our original planned RIDE Stages were mostly under water, for some time... There may yet be a few required Route changes, but we are FINALLY on our way... YAY!
I won't be winning any land-speed records however, I think I will do okay all the same...
Thanks so much for your generosity & support too...
Some great news this AM, as I have just discovered that we can travel through Wiseman's Ferry, across the River and up Mangrove Mountain for our Stage1 RIDE... YAY!!!
Will be rooting for you and sending encouragement from the other side of the world, fantastic challenge you have set yourselves, on behalf of all of us, much much thanks!!! xxx
Good luck, Steve, and thanks for all you do for the mpn cause. It sounds like an extremely challenging ride and I admire your fortitude and drive to find a cure. You are an inspiration to us all. By the way, I would like to donate, but I can’t figure out how to do it. If you could pm me, that would be great.
