Yeah sorry was in a world of my own! Saw u earlier in the day but didnt say hello, i wasnt being a snob i promise!

Yeh got a few photos, havent got around to uploading them yet, maybe tommorow if i remember.

That was my first real turn at hills driving/winding roads and I loved it! I normally let luke drive those roads, but wasnt going to miss it, and since he had his own car... Loved it!

Dear Members

On behalf of the White Wreath Assoc Inc – Action Against Suicide we “Thank You” for your kind support and are truly grateful for your donation to the White Wreath Association of $387.65 which is the proceeds of Ben’s Memorial Cruise.

We know Mark and Julie Simpson are so proud of you all and in their own words “You are simply the best” You have assisted them in the best way possible of keeping Ben’s memory alive and bringing their tragic loss to the attention of

all.

We are all well aware that suicide is shockingly common, affecting almost every Australian family directly or indirectly.

It can strike a child, a brother, a sister, a mother, a father, a grandparent or a co-worker. It can strike someone of any background. It can strike at any stage of life, from childhood to old age regardless of whether we are rich, famous or poor. No community is unaffected, no school or workplace untouched.

The main aim of our Association is to raise sufficient funds to establish “Centres” places of safety for those when suicide threatens and create in the wider community a better understanding of suicide through National White Wreath Day – In Remembrance of all Victims of Suicide that is held on the 29 May yearly.

Once again “Thank You”.

Kindest Regards

Fanita Clark
