One of our friends is a wonderful guy called Aneek Mollah.
Aneek is a super keen bike rider and completes the arduous Sydney to Surfers ride each year.
Aneek has made the very kind donation of $100 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia and has pledged $100 more per month until we set off on the ride.
Jack Awarded Australian Scouting Medallion
Jack received a letter from Maurice Law, AM, - Chief Commissioner of Scouts Queensland - last week - “I have much pleasure in advising that you have today been awarded the Australian Scouting Medallion.”
Highest Award A Scout Can Win
The Australian Scouting Medallion is the highest award a Scout can win and they’re awarded rarely - in 15 years with Scouts, Jack’s Scout leader Spud has never had another Scout be awarded the honour.
Jack is a mad keen Scout and does so much abseiling, rock climbing, kayaking, bushwalking and camping we simply don’t know where he gets the energy!
An official presentation is being organised - we’ll keep you posted.

Here on the Gold Coast the only real daily newspaper is the Gold Coast Bulletin.
Ed Earl covered the launch on Friday and wrote this terrific piece on Jack and the ride. Thanks Ed.

- Then it was an interview with a journalist (and photos) with the Gold Coast Bulletin
- Then at 4.45 pm we did some talk back radio with ABC radio - click the player above to hear.

Robbie McEwen is one of the greats of world cycling - a brilliant sprinter who has been at the top for many years.
His amazing win in the first stage of the 2007 Tour de France was a win only champions can pull off.
Robbie has come on board as our Ride Ambassador and had this to say:
“To dedicate and use the ride to raise funds and awareness for the great work of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Australia is a testament to Jack and I’ve been extremely impressed by his preparation, his dedication and his commitment to supporting those who need a helping hand.”
Robbie’s a great guy who does a lot to promote cycling, as well as his charity work - thanks Robbie.

Jack’s brother Harry (13 yo) and big sis Laura (16 yo) have put together an intro video. All we need is the music from Rocky!
Hope you enjoy it.

As you can see from the photo below, we hired a supermodel for our shoot to display the ride caps and shirts.
This little rascal (Laura - Jack’s sister) was heard to say: “It’s $100 a minute or I’m walking outta here!”
(We weren’t sure where to, as she lives here.)
“Don’t You Know Who I Am?”
She then flicked her hair a bit and uttered “Don’t you know who I am? I can’t work like this!!”

The cap is, as you can see, a lovely blue with adjustable velcro tab at the back for easy adjustment with the fully embroided logo on the front.
It’s 100% cotton and one size fits all.
On the back of the cap are the words “4,500 kms in 30 days”.
You can purchase the cap (and support the ride) in our 100% secure online shop here.
Official Ride Shirt
The wonderful official ride polo shirt is a beautiful gold colour (the ride jerseys will be gold) with the logo on the left breast and the words “4,500 kms in 30 days” embroided
across the back.
Manufactured by Johnny Bobbin, the polyester and cotton shirt provides excellent sun protection and complies with AS/NZS 4399:1996
This very distinctive shirt is supremely comfortable and is a quality shirt that will last for years.
To purchase, simply use our 100% secure online shop here, buy and support the ride (and you’ll look great and become better looking!).
