JW's 65 Roses Charity Challenge
Thursday 10th AprHere it is. The donation link for anyone who might want to donate a rose or two or even throw a few shekels to keep the fire burning and the old fella on track.
And so it was said; that in the year of his 65th birthday, john, moze, winchie, lord whittle john or tigg, would undertake and complete as many challenges that were needed to facilitate the donation of 65, $10 roses to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
"Sixty five roses" is what a young boy overheard when diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.
This is how it works. Each challenge is given a number of points depending on various criteria. Each point earns a metaphorical $10 Rose which i will donate to the foundation. Challenges maybe completely new experiences or an activity revisited after many years.
For example.
The solo Mt Toolbrunup climb completed earlier this year earns 5 roses. One for each brutal hour the return trip took.
Ten km paddle plus six km cycle solo biyak (Bike/kayak) loop on the Blackwood upstream from Sues Bridge. 2 roses
Busso Jetty Swim Simons 500m Shortcut. 2 roses.
No lights no lycra moving and grooving. 1rose.
Challenges on the list
Busselton to Dunsborough and return sail.
30 km overnight biyak Sues to north rd.
Stirling Ranges 300km Bike and 3day hike.
Sail to Bunbury solo or crewed.
Run 5km
Any suggestions considered.
If people can be enticed to join a challenge, then the number of roses i donate multiplies by that many, while my personal tally increases by a solo amount.
I post this purely as a personal motivation.
Knowing from experience that the more people who know of a crazy plan the easier it is to follow through.
Wish me luck
