The Grey Man Challenge 2010
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
our destination
In August 2010, a core of our Newcastle people will ride bikes from Newcastle to Ayers Rock to support The Grey Man. This journey will take them 25 days, covering 2880 kilometres. The ride will not only raise awareness but produce substantial funding to expand our anti-trafficking and prevention programs.
Planning and training is already underway, with the participants, who are all Police officers from the Lake Macquarie Command in New South Wales, getting some serious k’s under their belts. Senior Constable Joe Clancy, the organiser of the event said,
There is going to be a lot of pain on this trip, but it cannot even remotely compare to the hardship that young kids suffer at the hands of traffickers. Grey Man volunteers place themselves in harms way to fight traffickers, and so far have rescued over 100 women and children. With more funding and support, so many more could be saved
Currently, the team are looking for seven identical mountain bikes plus spares for the event. If anyone can assist them with donations of equipment, money or sponsorship, please email Joe Clancy at jclancy4@hotmail.com or The Grey Man at admin@thegreyman.org You can donate cash through our website www.thegreyman.org .
We will keep you updated on our adventurer’s progress. Many thanks for your support.
