POSSIBILITY OF SUPPORT VEHICLE FOR THE ANDES!
HI ALL,
I HAVE JUST BEEN OFFERED A POSSIBILITY OF A SUPPORT VEHICLE OWNER/DRIVEN BY A SOUTH AMERICAN. HE HAS ALL THE PAPERWORK IN ORDER. HE HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THIS KIND OF THING HAVING WORKED ON PREVIOUS EXPEDITIONS. IT COULD MAKE OR BREAK THIS TRIP
ANY CHANCE IRISH PEOPLE COULD START LOBBYING IRISH RUNNER MAGAZINE TO START A KIND OF CAMPAIGN TO TRY TO GET SOME SPONSORS ON BOARD, ATHLETICS IRELAND, THE IRISH LOTTO, ANY CORPORATE CONTACTS TO HELP COME UP WITH THE ALL IN FEE OF 1,500US$ A MONTH FOR 4 TO 5 MONTHS.
FOREIGN PEOPLE NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED THAT I HAVE NO HELP BACK HOME.!
I JUST DID AN INTERVIEW FOR OUTSIDE MAGAZINE WHICH IS A HUGE AMERICAN OUTDOORS PUBLICATION, SO PERHAPS THE RUN MIGHT GET MORE EXPOSURE.
MY INTERVIEW WILL BE IN THE FEB. 2012 EDITION.
THANKS
TONY

Hi Tony,
Will certainly jump on board the lobbying band-wagon. CONGRATULATIONS in advance on reaching your 14,000km mark! What an achievemnt. It is a disgrace that Irish Athletics journals are not supporting you when you look at the wealth of support you have encountered accross the world. Stay safe! Here’s to another 1,000km!

I got this nice message to a very old post from Noel, here is my reply.
Hi Tony
I just heard about your run today in work , WOW !!! Im just starting to get into ultra running , I want to do something different , something to engage my imagination and other peoples , and then I hear about you and I dont know whether im inspired or just thinking ” how do I top that? ” .Ive only just come onto your website so I dont know , do you prefer to run alone ? can people meet up and run a section with you ?
WOW I really am stunned and inspired , what youre doing is amazing. I’m definitely gonna be keeping track of your progress
Best Wishes
Noel
Hi Noel- Thanks for your reply and support!
Well you dont have to top anything, just live your own dream
I love running alone but love it more when I got company. If anyone wants to run with me please turn up or send me an email.
NOTE Pls send messages to the MOST RECENT posts as people, including me dont read the earlier stuff! Happy running, hope to see you on the road! Tony

I am afraid the offer of the support vehicle has fallen thru and is no longer available.

Hi Tony, sorry to hear that the support vehicle has fallen through, such a pity, would have made life so much easier for you. Congratulations on passing over the 14,000kms as you were so close to it a few days ago. Take care and continue to enjoy. Ann
