$1,000 & $10,000 Milestones

By Toasty, on March 30th, 2010

Congratulations!

Two fantastic things happened overnight in regards to fundraising for the Steven Walter Foundation and the “Answers for Kids Cancer” program.

The first is thanks to Renny and Karyn of Canberra – and all others who have donated – I have cracked the $1,000 mark on Everyday Hero.  This means I’m over a third of the way to the minimum goal of $2,500 with six months still to go.

And the second is that the same donation – plus all the other wonderful people who have donated – has taken the Ride Around Australia Everyday Hero “Team“ over

$500 Raised So Far

By Toasty, on March 17th, 2010

Thanks to Jeff D of Canberra – and everyone else who has donated so far – I have now reached the $500 mark in donations for the Steven Walter Foundation’s “Answers for Kids Cancer”. There is still quite a ways to go to reach the minimum amount of $2,500 but I have very confidence the goal can be acheived.

If you would like to make a donation to the “Answers for Kids Cancer” program you can do so at my Everyday Hero Fundraising Page. Donations above $2 are tax deductible for Australians.

The iPhone Wins

By Toasty, on March 7th, 2010

Well at the moment this post is coming to you from my new iPhone. That’s right the decision has been made, helped in no small part by the battery dying on my old Samsung mobile.

So this is my first post via the WordPress app for the iPhone and I thought I would post an exciting picture of the new front tyre I had installed last week.

The tyre has relevance as it is a Metzler Marathon ME880 and with a bit of luck it should last until October and make the trip around Australia without needing a change.

First

Ride Around Australia October 2010

In October 2010 I rode a Yamaha Road Star around Australia to raise money for the Steven Walter Foundation's Answers for Kids Cancer Program. This site documents the trip prep in the lead up to the journey and a daily diary of the trip itself.
