Well… it’s been two weeks since I started the GoFundMe to try and get the Party Bus back on the road, and honestly, I’m struggling to put into words just how blown away I am by the support I’ve received.
There have been some absolute deadset legends who have chipped in, shared the fundraiser, sent messages, offered help, or simply checked in to see how things are going. And I genuinely mean it when I say thank you. ❤️
We’re now sitting at around $4,000, which is bloody huge. That puts me roughly halfway towards getting the motor side of things covered, and then there’s still all the other bits and pieces that come with swapping a motor and getting the old girl back up and running.
I’ve also had a few people donate privately, which has made a massive difference. Every single dollar has helped, and knowing that people are willing to put their own hard-earned money towards getting me and the Party Bus back out there honestly means more than I can explain.
For those who know me, you’ll know the Party Bus isn’t just a car.
It’s my way of getting out there. It’s my media vehicle, my recovery vehicle, my camping home, my way of getting to races and events, chasing photos and stories, helping where I can and just being part of the offroad community that I love so much.
Having it sitting there broken has been bloody hard, especially knowing how much I rely on it to do what I do.
Thankfully, Croppy and Mel from Ultra4 Australia have been absolute legends and have loaned me their blue Colorado to keep me mobile. I honestly can’t thank them enough for that either. It’s meant I can still get around and keep doing what I love while we work on getting the Party Bus sorted.
But… I’m not going to lie…
I bloody miss my car. 😂❤️
I also want to give a massive, massive thank you to Multitech Shotblasting Australia. They threw down a huge chunk towards getting me back out there, and that sort of support genuinely hits differently. To have a business step up like that and help me get back on the road… I’m bloody grateful.
And another huge thank you to TJM 4x4 Equipped, who are throwing an onboard air system my way so I can get back out there and air up those awesome Predator Tyres once the Party Bus is back in action.
The support from businesses, friends, competitors, sponsors and complete strangers has honestly reminded me why I love this community so much.
I started this fundraiser not knowing whether anyone would even care enough to help.
Two weeks later, we’re sitting around $4,000.
That’s pretty bloody special.
There’s still a fair way to go, and I’m still plugging away trying to get the rest together, but for the first time since the Party Bus blew its motor, I’m starting to feel like we might actually get her back.
So to everyone who has donated, shared, messaged, offered help, or even just sent some words of encouragement…
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. ❤️
I can’t wait to fire that old girl up again and get back out there with you all.
Let’s get the Party Bus back where she belongs. 🚌💨❤️
And if you’ve been thinking about helping but haven’t got around to it yet, you still can. There’s absolutely no pressure, but every little bit genuinely helps and would still be hugely appreciated.
