Please use this section to contact me. It will help to spur me onto reaching my goal of reaching that £50,000 target. It will also help me in knowing that there are people watching my progress and willing me on to succeed. Whenever I reach somewhere that has internet connection I will try to read all the messages and reply to as many as I can. Please forgive me if I don't as I may be too shattered to even turn on a computer let alone find an internet cafe.

Hi Johnny,
2,500 miles… tick.

Celebratory bottle of champagne… tick.
Getting out of your sweaty lycra… tick.
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
Now that you have reached the climax of your journey and completed a most notable half century, take time to enjoy the accolades and the day / evening ahead. There is a lie-in due for you now.
Congratulations for everything Johnny. You have had an amazing journey.

Come on longlegs, only 15 hours to save the universe. Honestly, I think you can take the brakes off now and let them have it. We're still sending the energy through our magic green ring pieces.

Sorry I can't get Melbourne to see you in tomorrow, but we have you booked in for the all new "butt retread" procedure in January.

Don't forget now, I could still do with a couple of empty VB cans as a trophy.

Do it.

Hi Johnny.
What a truly amazing journey!
After your many days and nights spent in the quiet solitude of the sweltering and expansive outback, welcome back to the real world. We really hope that you enjoy your last hours in the saddle as you approach the finish line in Federation Square on Saturday.
As many others have said, it will be strange not to follow your daily travels and watch the little green man’s progress. Perhaps we can follow your daily jaunt from the kitchen to your office… maybe not.
Ride strong.
J, C, G & G

p.s. Your green man is still in South Australia. Have you pressed your button?

How ironic, just as school term comes to an end (roll on 1pm, absolutely knackered) your journey comes to an end and you'll be knackered too! But wow, what a way to get knackered! Nearly there. Celebratory cocktails on your return to UK

Wishing you a safe ride into Melbourne and a well deserved celebration . Happy Birthday for the 19th. love Ru Amanda and David.

Hi John
From the team here at Parkinson's Victoria - congratulations on your journey so far!

Would love to welcome you to Melbourne on Saturday at Federation Square - but not sure of what time?

Thank you for doing such an inspiring and amazing job raising awareness (and funds) in support of Parkinson's and your support of our work here in Victoria.
Best wishes for the last few kms to the finish line - no doubt it will be an amazing emotional and rewarding finish to an equally amazing journey!
Ride safe!
Judith and the team here at Parkinson's Victoria

I really hope you enjoy this last leg, you will come back a toned 50 year old and all my dad could do was increase his beer belly! (although i think you may deserve a beer or two after this!)
