Talks with 'ride' magazine could secure a reporter to join us on the ride. Watch this space for updates.
2012 will see 2 people travel on motorcycles 1273 miles from warrington in the Uk to Budapest in Hungary in 24 Hours. This is the founding place of the charity this Trek is in Aid of 'Stick n Step'
We promised after our last long expedition we would hang up our boots however 2012 will see the hardest yet. The Trek will see us travel through 5 different countries, 'France, Belgium, Germany, Austria and Hungary and all within 24 Hours. (Try and google map it, its 20 Hours none stop) leaving little/No time for rest.
'I think the hardest part will be travelling at high speeds through germany when we have already been travelling well in to double figures of Hours.'
Why ! Well Briefly... Andras Pëto, the founder of conductive education, was born in Hungary. In 1945, after the end of the war in Europe, he started to work with motor disabled children in a new, carefully integrated system, which was the organisation and implementation of conductive education. In 1967, after a long period of ill health, Pëto died. Dr Mari Hari, his colleagues and students continued his work. In 1984 the present ‘Pëto’ Institute was founded in the Buda Hills in Budapest.
So thats why we are returning to the homeland and the start of the journey which enables my daughter to have a chance of an independant life.
On behalf of myself (Lee) and my equally as mad expedition partner (Jay) can we take this oppertunity to thank you for taking the time to read our page and thankyou for your kind donations.
