Woot! Woot! TEN Million Fall Challenge Team Meters!!!




Congratulations, team Luna-Tic, on achieving a TEN million meter rowing challenge....and there's still time left on the clock!

And wowzer....! AJ is heading down millionaire meter lane with only 65K to go for this MEGA milestone....I seem to recall Moose calling this the Jedi Master Million or something like that. Boatload I say, boatload.

Many, many strong efforts by all during this challenge....some of you need to find the cable that uploads your meters...I know you have 'em! We want 'em!

Robyn - your Giants win the division! Hope you rowed strong while watching the game....and if it can't be the Rockies for the division, at least it's a divisional competitor. I'll have to dig my Giants Panda hat out of the voodoo bin.

Hooyah! Luna-Tics! Lots to celebrate! Didn't realize initially that Tim and Kristine S walked the Portland Marathon! Whew. Some serious hours of hoofing there!

[BAZzy]

You might recall I posted way back in late May that I will be abseiling, or rappelling to my North American friends, off the AMP Building in Sydney on October 22 in support of the Sir David Martin Foundation and to help raise much needed funding to assist in their valuable work.

The Foundation’s aim is to help realise Sir David’s dream of an Australian Community ‘where children can grow up in safety with hope and opportunity’.

Well it is hard to believe that it is only a little over one week away. Janet is quite relaxed (she's as cool as a cucumber), and TomO has offered me plenty of advice (cheeky as it was!) and despite both of us being quite accustomed to flying and jumping out of aircraft I must confess to being quite nervous about going over the edge of a skyscraper. Taking my chances in the jungles of Papua New Guinea is starting to look more attractive...but that is another story!

They tell me the record for a 100 metre descent is around 10 seconds or thereabouts, and I didn’t enquire just how the feat was achieved just in case it was because they forgot to ‘tie the rope off’. So I’m figuring (hoping) I won’t be that quick, but maybe a more leisurely descent with time to take in the view over the harbour!

Anyway, thanks to all the Luna-tics who have supported me in this 'lunacy' and if would like to make a donation you can do so by visiting the following link.

http://www.gofundraise.com.au/BigBadBaz#

They tell me there will be a photographer on–site so hopefully I will be able to post some pictures.

You’d have to be a Luna-tic, I guess

Cheers, BBB

BigBadBaz, do you know the approximate time you start down the rope? We can translate it to our local date and time and send you good thoughts during your abseiling.

[Kona2]

Still # 5 ! 31 team members have crossed the 100K marker!! Whoop! Whoop!



Who knew the Fall Challenge would send one of our own over the edge? Don't let go of the ropes, Bazzy!

BigBadBaz, do you know the approximate time you start down the rope? We can translate it to our local date and time and send you good thoughts during your abseiling.

Yes..both Janet and I are going over at 11.30am (well that is the posted time!) which should be 8.30pm in New York assuming there are no time changes between now and next week. We changed our clocks forward a couple of weeks ago to daylight saving time!

We changed our clocks forward a couple of weeks ago to daylight saving time!

That really threw me for a moment, since we are scheduled to go off it in about three weeks. Then it struck me - ah yes - he is in the southern hemisphere - summer is acoming in down there. Duh!
