Something different and important for this update. My cousin's
Bruce and Stuart Anderson are looking to raise awareness, and funds, for the Organ
Donor Foundation. Please take a moment to read their story and visit their site.

"In July 2008 our friend Nic had an emergency heart transplant.
It was successful and his body accepted the new heart. We dubbed him bioNic after
the transplant. Unfortunately there were other complications which tragically led
to
his untimely passing. Nic was 29. His new heart was fine.
Nic’s amazing spiritual and positive outlook on life and how much he loved his wife
and cared for all his friends and family left an impression on all of us. It seems
fitting that we honour and remember him by establishing The bioNIC Fund.
We want to raise as much money as we can for
The Organ Donor Foundation’s (ODF) Flight for life Programme through our
participation in the 2009 Cape Epic marathon mountain bike stage race.
It’s 8 crazy days of 750kms with16 500m of climbing.
The race is highly competitive and physically taxing, with up to 10 of the past
and current World Cup champions competing.
It’s quite simple.
We’re looking for donations per kilometer or a flat donation.
We’d like to further challenge everyone to commit to a bonus donation
if we achieve a top 30 overall position (phew).
This can easily be done on a pledge done via email.
Any donation will help large or small. Individual or corporate.
All donations should be done directly to the ODF and referenced as Bionic Fund
If you don’t have the means to donate money, give life and become an organ donor
So dig deep, We know we are going to have to during the Epic."
