“Well, I survived the Finke desert race and was very brutal, but I smashed it. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported and donated to Bowel Cancer Australia in memory of Joe. I have been truly overwhelmed by the kindness, encouragement and generosity shown along the way.

I know I had Joe there with me in spirit and I’m sure he would have had a big smile on every km we did up to Finke and then back to Alice Springs. Together we have raised an amazing $16,500 which is something we can all be proud of. Thank you to each and every person who helped make this possible.” ~ Mark.
