2011 Cannonball Charity Ride for Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Australia |
From 10-22nd May I will be participating in the
Cannonball Charity Ride, a motorcycle rally which will raise
funds for the charity DEBRA.  
DEBRA supports sufferers of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) which is a rare disease whereby the skin blisters and peels at the slightest touch. EB children are sometimes called the 'butterfly children'; because their skin is said to be as fragile as a butterfly's wings. Living with EB has been likened to living with third degree burns. It is very painful, and sufferers must be bandaged every day with dressings to protect and medicate their woulnds. This rally is no ordinary ride around the block. We will be travelling on dirt bikes and it will take us from Bribie Island across Queensland and into Alice Springs. From there the course will wind around to Kings Canyon and then down into South Australia’s Barossa Valley. Approximately 6000 kms in total. Along the way we will be raising money and spreading the word about EB. 
It has been a particularly disastrous start to the year for so many people all over Queensland and many parts of Australia with flooding and cyclones affecting almost everybody directly or indirectly in many different ways. Not to forget the problems our neighbours across the Tasman are experiencing. Those who haven’t been affected and even some of those who have are giving generously to various appeals to assist flood and cyclone affected communities. The flooding and the flow-on economic effects have caused difficulties for quite a few of our fellow entrants who have, for various reasons, had to pull out of this year's fund-raising event. It is for this reason that we ask for great generosity from everyone who can give a donation to this very worthy and much unknown cause. Every day, every month and every year, the children affected by EB and their families who support them are living through their very own traumatic event. Here, there is no cleanup operation, no 24 hour news coverage, there is no getting on with lives. This issue doesn’t go away. It is with them for life. For this charity I have agreed to raise $3000.00 but have set myself a goal to raise over $4000.00. This is where you come in, because I need your help to reach this target. Your donation - no matter how small or large - will help, but as you know the more you give the more benefit will go to these most worthy recipients. HOW TO DONATEDonations over $2.00 are fully tax deductible and can be made by
cheque or direct deposit. Also any donations of $1000.00 or more will
have their name printed onto the official ride shirts and have their
details mentioned on the Crane Truck Services website for twelve
months. Make the cheque payable to KJ Promotions & Events. Bank Transfer Chasing Tax Recepts THANKSThis ride will be painful, but hopefully fun for me and the other
men and women entering in this event. Our pain will go away. EB
sufferers’ pain is with them for life.
