Message from our Sponsor


(Brent, Martin and Walter)

Friends,

I just spent the nicest three days of vacation biking through the German countryside along the Danube with Niki (my seven-year old) and six interesting and fun people including our favorite wandering Dutch- Australian; Jonas Jacob Walter van Praag. As many of you know Walter has cystic fibrosis and should not be capable of biking any distance. Yet, he is biking from Paris to Istanbul to raise awareness and funding for cystic fibrosis and to create a documentary to encourage kids with CF to explore and enjoy the world. Walter's expedition is called "Coughing the Distance" and you can check out more details at:

I would consider it a personal favor if you would visit this website and make a donation to this fine group's efforts. They are going to end up helping 10,000's of CF kids improve their outlook on life.

Ten entertaining minutes on line and ten dollars in donations will go a long way to keep this expedition and documentary moving forward.

Many thanks to Walter, Martin (last seen in 1984 on the Trans- Siberian railroad), Troy (mechanic extraordinaire from Tasmania), David (when your boat is foundering in 20 foot seas this is the man to call), Heather (opps! dropped your rope at 22,000 feet on Everest? Heather can help), and Lucas (future famous filmmaker and all around nice guy)
