Update for 14/12/2009  14 December 2009

Hi everyone. Merry Christmas! Since my last update donations have continued to come in for the Riding for Rakiura bike ride and we have now raised almost $60,000-00!! This is a tremendous effort and has far exceeded our expectations. Individuals are seeing their friends and family continue to make donations even after the ride has finished which is extremely encouraging, and really does show a true generosity of spirit. All of these donations, every cent and every dollar will go into the Stewart Island Project fund, and help us on our way to building facilities which will support future generations of young people explore the beautiful natural environment of this unique location.Thank you again for your support, enjoy your Christmas festivities and best wishes for the holiday season and new year. - If you would like to make a donation to the Stewart Island Project click on the donate now link.
