My name is Sam, I am 16 and have JR Arthritis. I think what you are doing is great! If you come through the Blue Mountains let me know. I have had alot of trouble with my Arthritis. Mainly because my friends thought it as a disease. I lost my friends, i was teased and I was really sick. It is better now. I have great friends now and the people who gave me such a hard time have left my school. Well, I just thought I would say thankyou for what you are doing! -Sam Samantha Kingsley Bell (Blue Mountains)

Hi Doreen I spoke to you the other day (not sure if I gave you my name though) about the awareness/fundraising ride you're doing for Arthritis. My little nearly two year old has JRA (since 13 months) and hasn't had good news. Friday we had to see his Paed Rheumatologist who's putting him on the Big Gun meds- Methotrexate. What I wanted to let you know is our contact details in case you can provide more info for our newsroom at KOFM and NXFM in Newcastle, NSW.. (the number 1 and 2 stations in the city.) Phone: 02) 4942 4812 Fax: 02) 4942 3860 email news@kofm.com.au (that'll get both stations) Jo King (Newcastle)

Hi there, my name is Julies and I am 27yrs old who has been suffering from RA since I was 7yrs old . I have been looking on your web site and see your going to be up in Tailem Bend on the 13/7/05, I was wondering how long are you going to be there for because I would like to see your bike and ask you about what your Foundation does if thats possible. I hope to see you and your bike in Tailem Bend or when you come to Adelaide I can't wait because I have been on a bike before but not like yours it looks really cool and I love the colour. Kind Regards Julie Frankcom South Australia Jules Sky (Tailem Bend)

Hi Gary and Doreen, My name is Louise Quire and I'm from Texas. I really liked your terrific talk about arthritis. I knew affected children, but I didn't know that arthritis affected two year old kids and they had steriods injected into there joints! I hope you get a total of more than $1 million when you finish. You're nearly half way there! I love your trike. It's a bit cute. So is your mini caravan. Thanks for letting us dress up. Gary, don't run over Doreen again! These are some questions I would like to ask you- How do both of you fit into the mini van? Gary, has your hair always been like that? How much did the trike cost? I hope you have fun!!!!!!!!!!
