The Gang

Yeah we know!

Good looking bunch!

But we can't rely on our looks for all the hard work that lays ahead. Lower your gaze to those fit looking legs. It's those pistons that are going to be getting us to Melbourne and to the eventual goal of a nice BIG cheque to the Commercial Travellers Ward at the Children's Hospital at Westmead.

And everything is coming along really nicely too. Still a few things to iron out, but all in all we are meeting points on our checklist on time. We have been blessed with so many businesses donating goods for our Trivia night, and investing dollars into the cause. Things just couldn't be any better.

We have also been so lucky at having Sydney RV jump on board and supply us with a 6 Berth Winnebago for our needs on the way to Melbourne. Jump on their website and have a look at this awesome company

If you want to be a part of this wonderful cause and donate a few dollars - then jump on www.thecyclingcerebellums.com.au and help us help them. You feel so much better within yourself knowing that you are helping those in need.

What a day.

Wednesday the 25th January 2012 will go down for the Cycling Cerebellums as one of the best day's since the CC's conception. It was truly the most humbling of experiences for our riders and to see where all our fundraising efforts  were going to made each of us extremely proud and honoured.

Upon arrival at the hospital we all met up with Angie from the Fundraising Dept. The history of the hospital was explained to us as well as how all the wards got their unique names. As we made our way up to the Commercial Travellers Ward you could feel the excitement building within the group of cyclists. It means so much to us to get to see the ward we are fundraising for and to meet the nursing staff, children and families.

Upon entering the ward we met the Nursing Unit Manager Fiona. What an amazing and knowledgeable woman. You can see that that ward is her heart and soul and she enjoys what she does from the core. She told about every room and the types of conditions that were treated within the ward. About how being a nurse on the ward takes a great deal of care and knowledge.

You could tell how much she cares for each and every single one of those patients and their families and how their well being is the most important thing for her. When we made it to the far end of the ward we were shown the room that contains 6 beds - some of which contained cameras and equipment for EEG's. Each child who was brought in for Epilepsy studies was video'd during their stay for information pertaining to their form of epilepsy. The ward is at the forefront of Epilepsy surgery and our fundraising efforts will be going towards this. How exciting is that? We are terribly excited.

During our time on the ward we met this amazing young chap. Despite all that he had been through over the last 9 weeks he still had this amazing spark. Makes you realise how lucky we really are.

We are hoping to catch up with Kye on our way to Melbourne as he lives not far from our route. Your a real trooper Kye. We look forward to catching up with you soon and hope your feel better real soon.

We left the hospital on such a high - feeling very proud of who we are and what we stand for. Before departing we left the ward a special gift on the CC's behalf.

We look forward to coming back again just before we leave and catching up with you all again. It was an absolute honour and pleasure to be associated with you all.

The Cycling Cerebellums love rolling with the

Commercial Travellers Ward.

Crazy Hair Day

What a fantastic day was had yesterday by the teachers and students at a local school. The whole day was dedicated to raising funds for the Commercial Travellers Ward at the Children's Hospital at Westmead. And fundraise they did. It was great to see everyone being so involved and so happy to have this day be a stand out.

Teachers were auctioned off to the highest bidder (Students) to have their hair styled and coloured with coloured spray, ribbons, crimpers, straighteners. Great way for the children to really feel included in such a wonderful day and in some way for them to get some of their own back - in a good way of course.

On the day - Cycling Cerebellums cupcakes were sold as were the Cycling Cerebellums T-shirt pictured above as well the awareness bands. And in total, a whopping $1000 was fundraised in a few school hours. 

AMAZING

The Cycling Cerebellums would like to thank everyone for their wonderful contribution on the day. It was a great day with an outstanding ending. The Commercial Travellers Ward at the Children's Hospital at Westmead will be so very happy with the donation.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin.
