The Greyhound-data/Grey-aid bush fire appeal fund raiser has now completed the full circle.

Due to the funds raised we were able to help many people in many ways.
From paying vet bills to paying for materials, bills, rebuilding, boardings, rebuilding runs and in a small way rebuilding lives we were able to achieve all this because of YOU!!!

To those who donated straws/goods thank you so much.
Kev, Hayden who donated multiple times...what can I say... THANK YOU.

To everyone who donated, whether it be $5 or those who donated more through great generosity, we thank you so much.
To those bidders, especially Mick Barry who bid twice the value(classic)thank you so much.
We thank everyone from around the world. Donations came from EVERYWHERE.

On a personal note, I'd like to thank Tony Gallagher and the GD team for their great generosity.
They gave unselfishly and were behind it 100%.
I'd also like to thank Richard Gray who was right there from the beginning and was invaluable.

I've been having conversations with some of these victims and I can tell you I've been choked up pretty bad listening to their stories... I hope no-one goes through that ever again.

To all of you who have helped us help them, hold your head high, feel proud and give yourselves a big pat on the back, because you have made a massive difference to people that needed help.

THANK YOU!

Well done Michael and Richard it was your idea from the beginning and the world rallied around you to give so much and help so many.

Thank you to all who gave what they could during these difficult times and good luck for the future to all that were helped.

It certainly shows how many good people there are out there.

Thank you

Thank you Michael and Tony for your kind words, Due to family circumstances I took a back seat early on, so a tip of the hat to you both! GRV promised the world on several occasions and delivered NOTHING..... Well done to you both.....

Unfortunately because of that attitude, we had very limited opportunity to help Victorians in need.
I'm still waiting on their call back to me.
Don't worry Rich...that one is locked in.
You did your best...well done.

Funny that, Mick.

The flip side to that is so many more who have so much less gifted from the heart.

Worth a thought for some...
