I have a confession

I cheated in the 1986 MS read-a-thon. Time was running out, mum had been hounding me to get some runs on the board, I tried to read a few books but lets face it, reading just isn't my special talent. After getting the balls up to walk around the neighbourhood asking for a per book sponsorship all I had to do was read ten books and I would reach my fund-raising target and thus receive my prize of a MS book bag. It was the 11th hour and I still didn't have enough books read. Being the entrepreneurial type I even resorted to reading Golden books for some quick fire results but even that was proving too time consuming. On the last night of the read-a-thon I did something that would haunt me for years to come. I falsely claimed James and the giant peach.

It's time to pay my pennants. It's time to make amends. It's time to raise some legitimate funs for the MS society. It's time for the MS gong ride.
I'm riding in the MS Sydney to the Gong ride on the 4th of November. It's 90kms of shark tooth like hills, howling costal winds, blazing sun and to top it off it's the night after Emmy G's 30th so I'm probably going to have a headache....



If you want to be a part of this tale of repentance and redemption I would love your support.

I promise I won't cheat....
Get on board,
