So, you get told you’ve got at most five years to live. What do you do?

Welly crew will have seen on the cover of this week’s Capital Times a dude who’s skateboarding over 200K from Taihape to here. He’s part of the Ride For MND massive, and he’s heading down for the One Track Mind fundraising gig. Ride For MND was set up by Duncan, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and decided he was going to do his best to raise money for MND research.
I’ve known Duncan since schooldays, and he’s really tight with my sister and her husband and with a bunch of other good friends of mine. So, Wellingtonians, this: please try and get along to the gig. It’s $10 on the door for a great night, and you are contributing to a really good cause.
Ride for MND in association with a lot of people, presents:
Barnaby Weir (Black Seeds)
Sleepy Demons
The Postures
Daniel Bohan – The Antihero
Newtown Street Justice
+ Munt FM & VBC DJs spinning the latest in aural awesomeness
$10 Doorsales only.
SATURDAY 7 JUNE 2008
BODEGA
If you can’t make it along, but want to contribute, there’s a donate page over on the Ride For MND site.

So, then. This is what you do.
Did you know that Taihape is the gum boot capital of the WORLD?!?!?!
What is Duncan’s last name? It’s not Bailey, is it?
Jon: Yeah.
Spelt Bayly’!!!!
