Alltech WEG in Kentucky is the new goal!

Thankyou to everyone who has bought raffle tickets, sold raffle tickets, made donations, donated prizes or written to support Damian.

From the funds we have raised already Damian has bought:

a new bike from Pedal Pushers
a new bike from Bike Friday - this arrives mid April 2008
the attachments and equipment he needs to be able to pedal his bikes - bike shoes and clips (as he cannot feel his feet, they need to be clipped onto the bike so that he doesn't lose his footing), a pump, a bike computer/heart rate monitor (he needs to monitor his heart-rate due to his condition), a helmet, bike tools and a bike lock.
a Mac Powerbook laptop computer (so that he can earn money by selling photographs at shows)
a Canon camera (so that he can earn money by selling photographs at shows)

Our goal now is is to raise enough money so that he can live his dream of being a professional photographer, and have money saved towards any other dream he may want to realise. He would love to go to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Kentucky in 2010. Click here to learn more about these games. We would like to raise $33,000 in total for Damian to have a full life.
