I am delighted to announce that Fundamental Group, Q5 Partners and Kay & Burton will be supporting the ride. Through their generosity the fund raising goal has received a $10,000 boost. In addition Fundamental is underwriting the branded cycling jerseys for the ride . I am incredibly grateful to these three fantastic companies for their support. Thank you Angus, Ross, Olly and teams. It is the support of companies like theirs in addition to the generous individual donations that drives me to take on this challenge and most importantly will make a massive contribution to Alister’s battle with MS.

I do have one more spot on the jersey for a corporate sponsor so if your company would like to come onboard please contact me directly ASAP.

It’s all about the stash (as we all know) so I am delighted that we’ll be putting all those who have donated so far and anyone who donates before July 30th into a hat (or cycling helmet) and drawing 5 names to win an Atlantic Coast Challenge official cycling jersey. So please donate now to be in for a chance to win. It’s not the yellow jersey I know but this jersey will be more famous in my house at the very least!

Off for a training ride this afternoon. See you all on the other side.
