The final word

Well I told Steve that I wanted the final word so here goes!!!!!!!
I would like to start of with thanking a few people, Firstly Carol Herbert for getting behind us when we approached her. Her enthusiam and drive played a big part in the success of our adventure. Then I would like to thank the Libby's for giving us the use of their vehicle, allowing us to keep our costs down. I would also like to thank Steve's fellow riding companions Kim libby, Shane Page, Tod Penberthy, Alistair Johannesson, Brian Evans and Geoff Chilcott. Their companionship and humour made for the success of the whole trip, then you the readers of this Blogg and all our friends, Relations, clients and customers who have donated to the Hospice cause, people we met on our journey who gave us cash donations like the American tourist who gave me donation as I was taking photo's at the top of the Crown Range, the competitors of the BDO Spicers TwinCoast ride who filled the bucket and donated a grand total of $450.00, the Beachcomber Restuarant of Kaitaia who gave us $50 and the owner of the Flying Fish Gift shop in Paihia who gave us a cheque for $150.00 all contributing to our fund raising effort of $11,600.00 and finally to Bill and Loraine Powell for a Donation of $500 that has put our Funds raised over the $12,000.00 well over our target of $10,000.00. I had a wonderful time and enjoyed going from one end of the country to the other, I especially enjoyed the West Coast of the South Island we are certainly very luckly to live in such a beautiful country. Thanks for reading, over and out.
