Yeah our first donation came in today from the McCullagh family of 100.00. I am truly grateful for the donation and the advice to make sure i put plenty of cream on my bum and a sheepskin cover for the bike seat.
ReplyDeleteDonations are starting to come in.
ReplyDeleteWe have received 100.00 from the Porter family in Warrnambool. This is fantastic and i am truly grateful for the donations.
Another Warrnambool donation has come through from Bob Biggins for 50.00. Thankyou Bob for your incredible generosity.
ReplyDeleteWow our first donation from outside the region. Rod Soar from Ballarat has put in 50.00. This is truly generous. I guess it highlights the importance of giving to rural communities to ensure they have access to all the best of equipment and treatment in their local area. Thanks Rod.
ReplyDeleteGreat news the donations keep coming. Meredith Chell has added to the collection with a magnificent 20.00. Your support and encouraging words are most gratefully appreciated. We are also getting some pledges of donations so please let me know when you have been to SWHC reception so i can acknowledge your generoristy here
ReplyDeleteThanks to Carmel Allison who donated 10.00 today into the project. We are getting closer to our first 500 dollars. Thank you Carmel this is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe have another $100 donation from an anonymous donor in Camperdown. Thank you very much anon and if you wish to identify yourself in the future i will be happy to update this comment with your name. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestion from Russell was for anyone who has links to clubs or organisations to print off the letter for donation requests located on this blog and take to your local club. If you want me to write a personalised letter then please let me know. Also i would be happy to talk to any clubs post the ride to let them know how we went and what we ended up raising.
ReplyDeleteHello all,
ReplyDeleteJason and I are looking to have a fundraising breakfast to raise some money like we did 2 years ago. The date at this stage is 31st July. The breakfast will be some cooked food and some fruit salad and yoghurt and muesli. Does anyone have suggestions of a suitable venue? Please send me your ideas.
A big thankyou to Judy Wallace who has donated 20.00 to the cause. Judy lives out of town on one of the roads we ride on but i am not sure whether she is up that early to see us go past:)
ReplyDeleteThanks again Judy.
Great news today. We had a donation of $1000 from AXA insurance. I am absolutely gobbed smacked. Something like this makes not being able to train entirely OK with me:)
ReplyDeleteSome of my friends have been working hard in their workplaces to see if they can get respective companies to put some donations forward.
Hi all,
ReplyDelete3 more donations today each of $20.00. A big thanks to Eric Fairbanks, Andrew Giblin and Clare Jones who all can't make it to the breakfast but donated instead. All donations are tax deductible so if you can't attend the brekky let me know and i can get a reciept for you.
3 more donations have come through during the breakfast fundraiser. Fleur Martin put in $80.00, Peter Robertson $30.00 and John Moore $20.00. Once again thankyou to all who donate and support this cause.
ReplyDeleteA great donation came in from the Masonic Lodge in Warrnambool after myself and Jason gave a short talk on our ride. The lodge members donated $750.00 to the cycle4life fundraiser. A tremendous generosity and we are both grateful not only for the money but the experience of attending the lodge and seeing some of its wonderful history.
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic donation came in today from Sylvia Lanfranco of $10.00. We are so grateful for all these donations. I think we are overall 2350.00 plus the money coming in from the breakfast. We are very close now to buying one oxygen concentrator. Fingers crossed and please send on the donation request letter to anyone you think might want to donate.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Sylvia.

ReplyDeleteA BIG thankyou to Brendan Pendergast from Maddens Lawyers for a $200.00 donation to SWH palliative care.
ReplyDeleteWe are well on the way to getting one and possibly 2 concnetrators as the company that supplies them is looking at giving us a significant discount as well.
Thanks also to Lynne Irving for $20.00 another fantastic donation greatly appreciated by us all.
Yahoo another $200.00 donation from Warrnambool Rotary Central. This is great. I gave a talk there a few weeks ago and they were a really friendly bunch of people who obviously enjoy not only the charitable work they do but the camaraderie. Thanks again to all the members.
ReplyDeleteA big thank you to Catriona Campbell and her family for not only the $50.00 donation but also the supportive words and help her partner and family provided on the fundraising breakfast. Thanks Cat lets hope the rain goes away before we start the ride.
ReplyDeleteThank you to Sharyn Amos and her family for $100.00 dontation for the ride. Sharyn has once again asked that i carry a symbolic rock to represent the loved ones who have either fought or succumbed to the battle with cancer. I am thankful she kept the rock from the last ride as its only a bit bigger than a 50c piece so won't weigh me down too much. Thanks again Sharyn. There is still time for people to donate but we are well on the way to our goal.
ReplyDeleteA big thanks to Evelyn Smith for a $50.00 donation. Thank you very much for your support and best wishes. Thanks also for the muffins they went down a treat. I thought they best be eaten now in case they didn't travel well:)
