Well, what have we done! This has been a catch phrase I have used over the past month or so. As I was slogging through the mountain of work piecing all this together, I kept taking deep breaths and saying to myself “what HAVE I done”. It gave me a grin and kept me heading in the right direction, of which I had choice but to do, as I was well and truly passed the point of no return.
What we have done is achieved something that is simply incredible. Driven 75 motor vehicles and taken 155 people from the Eastern side of the country right to the very Western edge via a course that would test and challenge the most hardened adventurer. What an amazing group of people. Tough, resilient, generous and truly are the salt of the earth. When you take on something that probably shouldn’t be done, these are the guys you want and need around you. Everyone who participated in this event should be very proud of themselves and what we have all achieved together. We also send a heartfelt thankyou out to all their family, friends, sponsors and supporters, it has been amazing ride and we hope you felt part of this group and adventure.
We also managed to raise $230 000 for GIVIT which will in turn continue on to benefit and help hundreds, potentially thousands of charities throughout Australia. More detail on this later, but wow, who would have thought. From little things, big things grow.
It has been an incredibly busy day and I only have about twenty minutes between jobs to get this update done, so will keep it short. All cars and crews are safely across the finish line and in Perth ready for the final night’s farewell presentation function.
Once again, thanks for your interest and………………………….WE MADE IT!
I would like to send a shout out to my three fantastic and amazing kids, Jordo, Mitch and Anna. I have borrowed a lot of their time over the past year or so and I am pleased that this job is now done and we can look forward to getting back to a bit of normality. I also need to write some special words for my wife Michelle. What an amazing women and steadfast pillar of support not only to me, but the entire rally community. I’m the idea’s man, but we all have a lot to thank my family for, they are amazing. Thank you.
Cheers everyone, where ever you may be reading this from.
