Well isn’t it weird to be back home after three months on the road in the fantastic campervan from Sydney RV Centre. As you saw earlier on the blog, we all got together on the first weekend back home and had a few quite drinks at the Newport Arms Hotel. Since then, a group of friends and some of the support crew all came down to Brookvale Oval last Saturday night to help raise additional funds. With the help of the Manly NRL team, I was interviewed on the field by Peter Peters while the support crew went around the crowd collecting donations. It appears we raised around $9,000 from the collection with a crowd of 14,000 people.
Manly have since added to their support by having one of the great players donate himself to the cause for a day on Manly Beach. Thanks Choc, this is much appreciated.
I have continued training to keep the body from shutting down and have gone back to Scenar Health for some recovery sessions. We have still been busy with radio interviews and I will be live in the studio of 2KY/Sky Sports this Sunday between 8.30am -9am.
Our finale dinner that is fast approaching sold out in the first week and it looks like we are having about 400 guests to the function. With money raised from this, and other donations still rolling in I am hoping to still climb towards the million dollar mark. I will leave you this week with some additional footage not seen before on the blogs.
Cheers Craig
