    Our 9000km Bike Trip (Ommie Land Vannie Rand) for Andrio (with Leukaemia)

    Ja, and there is a possibility of something on 702 also. Jacko rightfully pointed out earlier in this thread that we need a plan and it is my opinion that the plan boils down to as much as possible PUBLICITY for the plight of Andrio and other kids with leukamia. Fullstop. Thank you Wild Dogs...

    Our 9000km Bike Trip (Ommie Land Vannie Rand) for Andrio (with Leukaemia)

    Thanks Wino, I am looking forward to meet other WD's on our travels 8) That's why I want to do my bit to avoid the same happening with Andrio, especially because I know him personally. If it come to the worst I would never be able to live with myself if I did nothing :'( :'(

    Our 9000km Bike Trip (Ommie Land Vannie Rand) for Andrio (with Leukaemia)

    Just an update. Preparations are going well but hectic. 3 persons have indicated that they want to join me on my journey, so its not a solo trip anymore! So we are now 4 persons with a possible 5th person (provided that he can get himself a bike in time). The one guy, Francois got a son who...

    Our 9000km Bike Trip (Ommie Land Vannie Rand) for Andrio (with Leukaemia)

    Hi Red The bone marrow data base in SA stands now over 63000 (up from 1200 in 1999). Continuing that thread is a good idea. I am just a bit new on this forum so guidance on this will be apreciated! It will be first prize if the dogs will be willing to help with flyers. That is my biggest...

    Our 9000km Bike Trip (Ommie Land Vannie Rand) for Andrio (with Leukaemia)

    Thanks for the sound advice Jacko! I really appreciated it as I am a complete novice when it comes to these campaigns. You are right on everything. I came to realise that the trip itself will not be very effective if you can't get publicity (and lot's of it) long before the trip starts (I am...

    I am planning to travel around inside South Africa on my motorcycle for about a month starting in middle December. The idea is to ride as near as possible to the border and coastline of South Africa in a clockwise direction (from Pretoria, Barberton, Kosibaai, Durban, Wildekus, PE, Cape...
