The number 666 has followed me around all of my working life. Therefore I pledge to donate one dollar per kilometre for this most worthy cause. PS: your grandfather, Gary, is a lovely man.

Hey Jordy and Cody Great initiative, I love it. I had a really close relationship with my Pop, and also worked as a residential carer for people with disabilities, including stroke victims, so I know what a difference your project will make. Just keep going, slow and steady, and wishing you strength and endurance! Ben
