preparation started with a final check and service of the old girl at City West Yamaha in Hopppers Crossing, all things looked good, no major issues. With the bike in prime condition and ready to go the next step was the final major fund raising push, the drawing of the raffle for the Ugly Fish sunglasses pack. Fellow Long Rider, Terrence Shaddick was the lucky winner and will pick up the prize pack during the ride. Terrence was quite excited about the win and even more grateful that the raffle helped raise over $330 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. A huge thank you to everyone who bought tickets.
In total the Long Ride has so far raised $98,000 for the PCFA, my target goal of $10,000 is still slightly short at $8,300. I'm still hopefully that the additional funds can be raised and help send the total over $100,000. Any help in raising the further funds will be greatly appreciated, details can be found at http://pcfafundraising.org.au/leigh_wilkins
For me this now means the ride is just around the corner, a final check of the bike, pack the bags and off we go. The first day will be Tuesday ...
