I know from umpiring with you many years ago now in Sydney that you will achieve whatever you set out to. I am in the middle of an around Australia bike ride at the moment, currently in Brisbane. When I get to Melbourne I hope you will join me for a ride. In the mean time I will have to get your cycling kit, it looks great. Keep that pointy chin of your up mate. Andrew Smith Mike,

I just sent him an email and he told me I should post what I wrote to him here.. so here it is - " Michael has such a positive attitude and has set pretty impressive goals... don't know if I could be the same in those circumstances (and I hope I never have to find out). Very sad to hear about the negative attitude however that he experienced with the public health system .. with the exception of Campbell ...shows how one person can make such a difference, and I think that Michael is going to be another "Campbell" for others" All the best Michael, I look forward to following your achievements and those of your family Hi Michael, I have not even met you but a friend of mine was on the charity ride and sent me the link a few weeks ago and I have been following events.
