Tuesday 22nd Sept.
Yesterday was a very emotional day. Saying goodbye to a very special friend, (bro') Rick, who suddenly got taken from us.
Unknown to me, one of his last wishes was, no flowers at his send-off, just donations which have been donated to getting myself, my boat and 2 carers/tech crew to Holland next year.
I'm gobsmacked at his wish, a brother by choice who would do anything for anybody, wishing me to follow my dreams and do the best that I can in June 2016.
An staggering £750 was given to me last night, by Tigga, his wife and long standing friend of mine.
Words escape me but thank-you all for your support and faith in me for this great chunk of money.
I'm defiantly going to Holland in June now and I will do my best for Rick and everyone who knew this great man. Yes, he was "a one off" who told you how it was, but he had a massive heart and cared very much about friends and family.
Rick, if you're reading this from where ever you are now, you're missed bro' by a hell of'a lot of family. Party hard, ride safe and don't mess with our heads too much!!!! RIP brother x
Thank you all.
Add another £80 to the total, & friends of Rick's are still contacting me, enquiring how to donate.

A big thank you for everyone who pledged on the Just Giving appeal.
You raised £500 which will cover the 10 days accommodation for myself, my PA and my boat technician / coach during the Worlds Championships in June 2016, over in Holland.
