Assuming the Team departs Hong Kong on 1 March 2011, there is now 400 days remaining to make all the necessary preparations. Whilst that may seem a long time, there are a staggering numbers of things to organise during these 400 days. In fact, I’m already beginning to get a sense that we are running […]

Over the last few weeks I have been inundated with great charities coming forward to seek selection by Wheel2Wheel. These approaches are not completely unsolicited but rather the result of word-of-mouth. I was fortunate to be introduced last month to a few non-profit “gurus” in China and Hong Kong. These gentlemen have spread the word and

I had been wanting to better understand how the world of television production and distribution worked for years, but have become especially interested since working on Wheel2Wheel. As I’ve been talking to more people generally about Wheel2Wheel it has become clear that our adventure is ideal for

I’m really starting to understand the immensity of the philanthropic world. It seems every time I “peel the onion” and meet another person engaged in a non-profit endeavour it leads to yet another person of the same persuasion. I’m really enjoying the totally different tone of dialogue that exists in the business-of-giving compared to my

Today Morgan, Simon and I took the first steps toward creating our own brand of creative imagery for Wheel2Wheel. I’ve always found it interesting the way people behave in front of the camera, but today was very refreshing – they are obviously good friends and the rapport that exists between them translates brilliantly in front of

Today we spoke of the importance of getting some “on the road” time. We agreed we would organise a road trip for when we are all in Australia next. We’ll most likely leave from Morgan’s house in Noosa and make our way south. I’m pretty excited about the ride as it will really give us
