Sunday the 19th of July marked the 15th Anniversary we lost Darcy. In remembrance of Darcy (and our epic tour of Europe 30+ years ago), we are planning a memorial bike ride each year. This can be undertaken as a group or individually with the plan to total the number of kilometres covered.
Thanks to everyone that got involved with the inaugural “Ride for Darcy” day on Sunday. Great turnout from the Stormcats Crew and fantastic to hear about all the other rides that happened around the country. It was an emotional but amazingly positive day with lots of love, some epic rides and loads of great stories. It embodies so much of what Darcy was about, bringing good people together, adventure and pushing the boundaries. Pleased to have made my personal target of 200kms (thanks to the assistance of my two lieutenants) with over 1,800kms totalled for the day. Overwhelmed by the support.
When I went to Norway to bring Darcy home, I found mum's memorial card in his wallet, which he had carried on him for 22 years. Both left us far too young, but in their honour we will be donating to the NBCF (Cancer Fund). We will aim to make this an annual fundraising event.
Thanks all for your support. Darcy would have been proud.

I would like to personally thank everyone that rode on the day or supported this event. I'm honoured that we can remember my beautiful wife Toula and my eldest son Darcy, both of which we left us way too young. Their memory and spirit continues to live on.
