Goal setters on the final leg

Isn't it amazing how setting a goal makes things happen?  Our two intrepid riders have done just that.  When you read this message, Xaver and Ollie will be on the last leg of their amazing 'Journey of Hope'.  The vision, the drive, the passion and energy are admirable.  But then, without the backing and support of you all, their journey would not have been so rewarding.
It's been amazing how Clubs, Rotarians and non-Rotarians have rallied around our riders as they have passed through the various townships.  Hospitality has been shown and the generosity of the giving has resulted currently in more that $30,000 towards the Polio.  In 2011 we (i.e. Rotarians from around the world) will meet our international challenge to raise $200Million to match the $355Million donated by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.  

It is good to see the involvement in the bike ride by local politicians and Mayors who have also hopped on their own bike to support Xaver and Ollie.  

So in summary a goal was set and we now have the result.  The challenge for us at the start of 2011 is to set our own audacious, hairy and scary goals to ensure we also achieve great things as we work to build communities and bridge continents.  

Have a great year - sharpen your pencils and start setting those goals.
