It was started with all good intentions of maybe looking at an additional fund to start for riders who need help to dip into if they needed anything extra. It was not designed in anyway to upset anyone who is or has done great work out there to benefit the riders who need help either now or in the future. I apologise to everyone if they have taken this thread in the wrong way, believe me it was not started with that intention and never has been intended to do so. It has obviously hit a lot of nerves and I think that should be where it ends.

Thankyou happychick for your comments and all I can say is I hope the fund raising for everyone goes well.

I know that you would like this thread to finish but I have to say that some people give to certain fund raising events because they know that particular rider or passenger. Perhaps to a competitor who is very special to them in some sort of way, someone they have admired, even if they haven't met them personally. If you find in your heart a need to assist in any way whatsoever, please do, no matter how little. All riders and their families are special however I believe we should be given the opportunity to give to whom we wish.
