I have attempted to write this post approximately ten times now, people who know me will know I have the gift of the gab so me being stuck for words is a very rare occasion.<\/p>\n

12 months on from the trek, Han’s 24th birthday. I am lost for words. I mentioned to Mum about inspiration last night and it stuck with me. I think it\u00a0appropriate\u00a0to thank those who inspire me on this day.<\/p>\n

So firstly, I would like to write a\u00a0paragraph\u00a0for my Amazing Mum.<\/p>\n

Peoples generosity inspires me daily, My mum has the biggest heart of all the people I know. And I believe that the success of ride4acure <\/strong>can be credited to the absolute commitment Mum has made to making a difference for other young people walking in Han’s shoes going through the melanoma journey as a young person. Mum you are my inspiration. You were there for Han every step of the way living with Melanoma, you have been there for Joe and I after Han’s passing. You were the backbone of the 2011 Coast2Coast horsetrek, <\/strong>I jokingly say all the time that Mum you are the brains of this operation! I might have been the one with the bum in the saddle, but Mum was the driving force behind all of the ride4acure adventures. I cannot put praise enough for mum on paper (or on a computer screen!!)<\/p>\n

Secondly, a MASSIVE HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY TO MY EQUALLY INCREDIBLE OLDER SISTER<\/strong>. I know you are not here to celebrate with us today Han but there will be many a glass raised in your name tonight. Not a day goes by without you in my thoughts and heart.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, I have three horses, Titan, Meg and Surprise sitting in a feed lot paddock here in Glen Innes with me. They have covered every mile I have ever asked them without questioning, hesitating or complaining. I feel the greatest debt of gratitude towards these three. I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I can have my crew back together again. It means the world to me to be able to lay a hand on each of their foreheads this morning and remember the great Triumphs and the great cost of the Trek\u00a0physically for myself and my horses\u00a0.<\/p>\n

On this day 12months ago I embarked on a 4600+km journey with three horses, three dogs and My Mum and Brother Joe. I thank all of the people that made that possible, all of our sponsors, without them the \u00a02011\u00a0<\/strong>Coast2Coast horsetrek <\/strong>would still be a dream for me. All of the people that helped bring my massive aspirations to reality, I thankyou from the bottom of my heart.<\/p>\n

So again, THANK YOU.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Trails. Xx Es<\/p>\n
