Thanks to Trish Oosterbaan for joining the big group of awesome pledgers! We're a few days past the half way mark and only $3290 left to raise! Thanks everyone! The helmet is now black and names start going on today...so a picture will be up soon.

The fund is building again... A few of you pledged earlier and it has just shown up on the site, so a huge thank you goes out to Phil Rich, Grant Stockman and Adrian Farnsworth! Your support is really appreciated! We are not quite half way through the time and already we have almost made it to 50% of the goal! Thanks everyone! I have the Beaver Creek World Cup race for SG and GS coming up on December 6th and 8th, so to meet the new helmet rules, CARRERA have sent me a new lid. It's a bit Aussie/Jamaica so maybe a black paint job might be in need. To all of you who have signed up for your name on the helmet, what design should I write the names in? (Last year was a koru).

An enormous thanks to Peter and Kirsty Gendall! The tally is getting up which is awesome news! On top of that, my first Nor-Am GS race of this season is tomorrow. Skiing well, so let's go! On a side note, if you've had trouble with the pledge system, let me know. Apparently it isn't updating automatically if you don't click on the 'return to thrill pledge' button after the paypal system. Cheers everyone!

Awesome! We've got the ball rolling, with pledges from Julie, Raymond and Marilyn. Thanks guys! Also a big thanks to Wayne and Carrie - although it still hasn't shown up on the system yet, it is without a doubt true, my southern lakes family were the first to show their support! Cheers all!
