Sorry this is a wee bit late, but I’ve been so busy the last two weeks (trying to buy a house, train for a 445km bike race, submit my Guinness attempt, etc etc)! Just want to thank everyone once again for your very generous donations and support towards my 24hr World Record ride.
Donations are now closed. We raised NZ $3405.93 online and $421.40 on the day, making a total of $3827.33! I’m sure it will be put to very good use by OXFAM.

Anyway, the winners of the prize draw are:
US $50 credit:
James Gurney- Taupo, NZ
And the Unicycle.com NZ prize draw:
Michael Buckley- Takaka, NZ

Once again, thanking you on behalf of OXFAM and for all the support you gave me during the ride.
