  “Really, I would love to register my gratitude to the very generous supporters/matchers of the very committed cyclists who are pedalling like mad to support the CMRI's research into kicking cancer's butt!!! OK, so, our contributions weren't exactly matched but that's a good thing. We were all out there pedalling and canvassing like mad to raise funds to annihilate this insidious disease. Thank you so much generous supporters, you're the best!!”

  “"Kyogle, meaning Big BushTurkey in Bundjalung language, is a small regional country town in Northern Rivers also known as “The Gateway to the Rainforests”. Only this morning I heard it lovingly referred to as “The Town that keeps on giving”. This is no more obvious than in the manner in which my town has dug deep in response to my GCC Campaign this year. So far I have raised a whopping $10,739, thanks recently to the overwhelming generosity of the big corporations and their DOUBLE DONATION Day. What a joy it was to see my total amount raised yesterday sky rocket. My bicycle pedals were on fire this morning!! BIG CORPORATIONS, YOU ROCK!!! I wish to thank my friends, family, acquaintances and the many strangers everywhere who have donated to my Great Cycle Challenge 2024 Campaign….but particularly, I want to acknowledge the generosity of the Kyogle Community in which I live, they just keep on giving. KYOGLE YOU ROCK TOO!"”

I don't need to tell you why I love everything about Dave's Bakery Kyogle (I must pay a visit on Monday to the Casino Branch for coffee and cake). Every year the cycling community across the country get on their bikes and ride to fight kids' cancer; I hope I can do it for many years to come. My heart feels warm from your continued support for research into an insidious disease that changed our lives.”

I saw that your donations were made late afternoon. Keeping it safe. The contributions yesterday exceeded the $800,000 mark (how good was that) so our individual donations were matched to 91.6%. I'm in no way complaining, I doubled my goal!!! Kyogle rocks eh? Please, if you would thank the members of the Lions, Kyogle. I'm forever grateful to you as the President and members. .”
