Time to reflect and acknowledgements

Posted by John on 11 Oct 2011

John is working on road trip for MC

This set off as a mission to raise an awareness of “Maison Chance” and to raise money for it in both Australia and America.

Only time will tell whether I have succeeded to the extent I had hoped. It also turned into a wonderful experience full of challenges and adventure as I travelled the width of USA in the less trodden routes. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey

However I would like to publicly thank my wonderful wife, Lee, and all my children for their unfettered support and encouragement in allowing me to undertake this journey.

I would also like to thank certain friends who will remain anonymous (but they know who they are), that provided the initial seed capital that allowed it all to happen. I thank all my cycling friends in WRCC who encouraged me both at the outset and all along the way. It has been a real help.

To those who have read the blog and made comments and to my Face book supporters again many thanks – it meant a lot.

And last, but not least, many thanks to the many wonderful ordinary Americans I have met along the way, who offered help advise or just old fashioned plain good company, that made the journey so enjoyable – and safe. There are too many to name and list here. The special ones I have contacted where possible.
