MICHAEL BLYTH
We have raised funds to support Michael Blyth since we started at FOJCX.
Michael broke his back in an unfortunate mountain biking accident close to his home in Sunbury. Sadly, in addition to dealing with a vastly changed life, Michael & his family had to deal with the financial burden of treatment, rehabilitation and the other costs out of their own pocket as Michael was uninsured. Through rider donations, bike raffles, BBQ's and skimming our occasional race surpluses we have managed to donate some worthwhile funds to Michael over the last 3 years.
It is through Michael's experience that we are particularly passionate proponents of club membership and rider licensing. 24/7 insurance is a good thing, and Michael's story is an example how a seemingly innocuous accident can having lasting consequences.
For MELGPCX, we are donating 100% of any funds for premium team tent sites & expo village donations, as well as a % of the bar take directly to a special fund for Michael. We will also take donations at Rego if you are feeling generous.
