3rd July 2010: Eve of the Big Smoke Adventure!
I am all ready for the ride into the city in the morning. I took the horses out with Joe for a ride today around Gisborne and then through town out to the cemetery to visit Hannah’s resting place. It was one of the best days I’ve had. I am absolutely ready for tomorrow’s ride to finish this trek.
I am so deeply conscious of all the incredible people that have supported me and helped make ride4acure 2010 horse trek such a huge success. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart especially to all the people who have sponsored me, made donations to the Hannah Rose Melanoma Research Fund (which is well over $17 000 for the horse trek since I left Willawarrin on 18th April with donations still rolling in) and given me and my horses support on the long road to here, I stand here on the shoulders of many.
I have a crew of friends and family gathering for 11am arrival at Peter Mac (some travelling all the way from Kempsey NSW) for the horse arrival in the big smoke.
