  • My dear Brother passed away on the 4th April 2012

      18 September 2012

    Hi Everyone Just to let you know, On April the 4th, 2012, I received a phone-call, with the news that my dear Brother Wilf is finally at rest. His wife called me?shortly after he stopped breathing, sobbing her poor heart out.?His struggle with Motor Neurone Disease?is finally over. I would like?to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support, it's been a real eye opener for me to see just how generous and kind hearted you all are. My brothers ordeal has really got me focused on being the best I can be in this life.. :-) He stayed positive, all the way to the end.. particularly after God heard and responded to his call for help to deal with his circumstance. Any further donations will be passed directly onto the Motor Neurone Disease Association of New Zealand, Wellington Branch. Take care Regards David Visser

  • Inspiration for 10/01/2012

      10 January 2012

    Inspiration for today So on the way home today, I stop along the Whitby Bays, sit on a bench, enjoy the views and savour the twisty ride along Whitby bays just completed. I sit and pray for my Brother and inspiration for this project, for God to show himself to me, and read the Bible, because my faith is weak at the be...st of times. I randomly open to Romans 5, and read about Peace and Hope :-) A reminder of the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. A reminder that we can egloryf in our sufferings since it is meant to produce perseverance, and subsequently character, and therefore HOPE. This is basically describing my Brother, who gives us hope through the perseverance and character he displays through His strength. I arrive home to an excited Ingrid who tells me to check the givealittle website. Someone (Bless you) who remains anonymous, donated $1000 today, with the only words gBe still and know they I am God. He providesch Some might call this a coincidence, I donft :-)

  • Sacrifice of 2 lambs

      18 December 2011

    Tony Hunt, who's doing the whole ride with me, donated?the 2 lambs for the love of my Brother, and?were raffled off. I raffled 1 at my workplace, and the other was raffled by Allan Mills?at Steel @ Tube. Each whole lamb was raffled for $200 and the winner at Steel and Tube was announced on Thursday 15-12. I announced the winner at my workplace on Friday 16 Dec 11. Here's the thing, I've only met Tony twice and haven't even met Allan, yet they have just chipped in and helped with this project. Thank you guys for helping me make a difference, it's a humbling experience. I know I can speak for my Brother here, we really appreciate your care and support. Tony,?I'm looking forward to the?ride across New Zealand in Feb 2012.

  • Thanks for you support

      27 November 2011

    Hi Everyone After discussing how donations are distributed with the Motor Neurone Disease Association, Wellington Branch, I learned that donations are mostly distributed as they are received, particularly if circumstances are such that funding is needed now, rather than later when a project ends. I also learned that I could etagf donations to specific needs within the MNDNZ Association. With these guiding thoughts in mind, I made a decision to pass through to my brother, 65% of the donations received to date and 30% to MNDNZ (Wellington branch), as I originally committed to do. What this means in terms of $fs, is that Ifve had the awesome responsibility and privilege of transferring $1000.00 (30%), specifically etaggedf for Wellington based field worker costs. Ifve also transferred $2,170.00 to by Brother and his family who are putting these $fs to good use in providing for his care. Thank you for your support to date, itfs been both awesome and inspiring. Ifm really looking forward to this project, gFor the love of my Brother, Wilfh, taking off in January and February of 2012.
