One day to go .....

Only one more day until our Launch ..... everything is in place and now we just need to get underway.

Met with Marcia at the Eagles venue yesterday - very helpful in all areas.

As we have a number of family supporters attending, we have now included a price for children under 12 years who are coming along with their parents. $10 will get the kids a "special" table where they will have their own food platters and soft drinks provided. Thank you very much to the Eagles for accommodating us in this way.

I would like to just add a special thank you to supporters Crumpler and Fruit Only for also donating goods for the Launch.

Have you looked at the range of Crumpler bags? Amazing ... I will be visiting their Adelaide store next week looking for a computer bag for my lap top. I want something just a bit more feminine than what my husband thinks I should have!

Fruit Only are associated with Roses Only .... but if you want something a bit more nutritious than flowers (for a guy maybe), then Fruit Only have the gift for you. Check them out - they deliver Australia wide!

We are also looking at other events to raise funds before we leave on the bike ride. So far we have planned a quiz night in May 2009, a Gala Dinner on 20th March 2009 and a Fashion Parade - date to be confirmed. The Cyclethon we are hoping to have in late November this year but are still awaiting a reply from the SuperDrome. Hopefully we will also be able to book a few BBQ nights at the Lion over the summer months - I better get organised before they are all booked out!

We will also have some "trial" rides throughout South Australia visiting various Make A Wish Branches. Once again those dates are still being organised.

So much to do and only 14 months to do it in!!!! I am not starting to panic .. I am just getting my head around it all.

Did I tell you we have our own drink bottles now too? We are planning to give them to people who donate at least $10 to the Big Wish Bike Ride. Thanks to Ashleys brother for arranging them for us.

Must go - need to collect our special Launch polo tops from Ray at Get Marketing - another of our wonderful supporters!

Catch you soon.
