What’s To Come?

When I got home from the North Pole I got booked for Antarctica in 2008 but I needed a race for 2007 so I got all sorted for South America, my destination Rio De Janeiro. I know this is going to be tough, I am only there for 2 days with a 14 hour flight there and the same back so I think I am definitely going to be pretty jet lagged.

I am raising funds for the fireworks in our town, our town has not had a fireworks display for the last 2 years which I think is terrible.

The displays have in the past drawn crowds of over 3000 people and to say it is not important for the local community is rubbish ask the 3000 that go if it is important, there are some families and children’s that won’t get to witness any fireworks because their parents can’t afford them. It is very important to me to get this up and running again the people of my town deserve this. It should not be up to me to or anyone else to arrange to do this it should be done by the local council, they are the ones who should put something back into the town.

They say it is an impossible task. LETS SEE!!!
