I was fortunate enough to have been at Mooloolaba when the 72 riders finished the 2010 Tour deCure. What an amazing and inspiring group of people. I looked around at the riders as they were embraced by loved ones and thought how cancer touches us all but more importantly how 72 ‘extr’ ordinary people can collectively work together to reach an amazing goal of riding 1444kms in 10 days and raise more than $1.5m along the way. I feel privileged to have been a part of the special event. Thank you to each of the riders for investing so much time, passion, enthusiasm, physical energy and commitment in trying to find a cure for cancer. On a personal level, Paul I feel enriched to have been a part of your journey. Thank you. x

Hi Bro
What happened to drafting? A bit hard I suppose when your heading up a bloody steep hill. Enjoy the downhill sections and remember there is only 6 days to go (OMG)! Thinking of you

G’day Paul

As you head into day 5 here are some words of encouragement for the remainder of the Ride

“When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place”

Hope to cheer you on as you pass through Brisbane on Sunday

Cheers

Hello Paul,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back and may there always be a rider to draft behind,
May the sun shine warmly upon your face,
And may God hold you all in the palm of His hand.

You’re a good bloke Paul – have fun!

Best Regards,
Mike

I’ve been watching your progress with great admiration Paul. I find your journey inspiring and hope to ride my own Tour de Cure [or similar] someday soon. Having directly witnessed what cancer [or other illness] can do to a family on a number of occasions makes your efforts more pertinent. Push forward with strong legs and warm heart.

And by the way… that’s not just your Mum pushing you along, we are all there.

Hi Paul,
How did today’s big ride go? Hope you’re not too sore tonight. I am just writing to let you know we are watching your progress with amazement and awe. You are an inspiration to us all. As you know, we have lost loved ones to cancer, some far too young! What you are doing, and have been doing (all of that early morning training) just blows us away. Hope to catch a glimpse of you as you ride through our area on Friday. Go carefully down that big hill near Byron … there’s a speed camera!!! Keep on peddlin’ Paul.
