Viceroys Member Andy Curran was knocked off his bike in 2011 and suffered serious injuries, to help with his rehabilitation the Viceroys led by our Chairman undertook to rebuild his bike, to make it the ultimate turbo bike. (Photos of the build can be found in the Gallery)
Last Saturday a number of the Viceroys were present when Project Pink was handed over to Andy in a surprise meet up at his local pub, Andy now takes over the story:
Hi one and all
Well what can I say!
For those of you that thought “he’s gone straight to the bar he’s rude” I truly was oblivious to the fact that you where all there for me and am still today very humbled by the love and support each one of you have shown myself and Charlie.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for the gift that I received last night. I am aware that so many of you brought, gave and even laboured over what can only be described as a “one of” “bespoke” “limited addition” Viceroys training bike.
As our Chairman has said, “that’s the best looking turbo bike around” and I can assure you photos will follow as soon as I’m able to throw my leg over the saddle.
A very big thank you to you Mark for not only working tirelessly over the last few months getting the club up and running but for the care and support you have shown me personally and for being the catalyst and mind behind Project Pink, Don’t ever loose that big heart for its that that’s the foundation of what Viceroys and it’s members is about.
My journey continues and every day I’m getting stronger. Many of you know my focus for the future is on what I and we can do as a club for charity especially the Air Ambulance Service and two organisation called James Hora Home and Stevenson House, all three are incredible organisation that are funded by charitable donation so in the future I’m expecting yes expecting us all to “Get Involved”.
Well that’s enough of me taking this as an opportunity to pitch. So it just leaves me to say once again a very very big thank you to you all “my friends” for turning out last night and for making another new chapter in my journey. Believe me your kindness is up there with being nominated as a London 2012 torch bearer, oh I do expect you all to pop along and support me 🙂
See you all soon
Andy.x
