Since my last bog I have been out for 2 more training pushes only! The last push in the weekend was with Harry escorting me in my hand bike. This all went well with another push up Hepburns Road and then up Mitcham Road, total distance was 20.4km. The only problem was on the return the battery in the hand bike gave out. Without the battery Harry could not keep up with me!! After waiting for Harry to catch up I suggested turning the battery on and off. This managed to spark the power assist back into life and we were all go again.

| Jock Little and the raffle money |
This week I managed to get a new tire on the front wheel of the racing chair, this is a relief as the old tyre looked like it would give way at anytime. No training during the last week but the fundraising got a boost at the Forest and Rural Fire Association of New Zealand. Jock Little of PSL (fire equipment supplier) donated $500 worth of prizes for a raffle. This raffle raised $950, a huge thank you to PSL, Jock Little, the rural fire boys from Ashburton for selling tickets and to all the delegates that bought tickets. On top of this Veronica Clifford (fire researcher) donated her spot prize to the NY Marathon fundraiser, this paramedic kit is worth about $500!!! Thanks Veronica.
