Margie will arrive in Darwin today at the Berrimah
Hidden Valley Tourist Park, hopefully in the morning if
she gets a tail wind at around 10.00am or 1.30pm if she
faces a headwind.
At a special ceremony at the start of
the ride Margie Raynor officially became
a Kidney Angel, an award from Kidney Health
Australia which recognizes individuals
for outstanding contributions in helping
people with kidney disease, by raising
funds pedalling a total of 28,000 kilometres.
Getting back home
from Darwin will be made easy courtesy of a Gold Class
ticket generously provided by Great Southern Rail.
Margie's commitment to helping people with
kidney disease stems from personal experience when
Margie's daughter was diagnosed with kidney disease at
five years of
age.

TODAY FOR INTERVIEW ON THE ROAD
Margie Raynor Mobile on the Road:
0419 772 249or
interview her at the Berrimah Hidden Valley Tourist
Park at the end of the ride.
Share some of Margie's unusual experiences
of riding solo on the road with your listeners
and some of the people she has met along
the way - her own thoughts of getting
up at 5.30am every morning to face on
average 100 kilometres a day in all weather
conditions and what happened when her
back axle broke a couple of weeks ago.
On the road on her
own, Margie developed some unusual ways of raising funds
for kidney disease by charging $20 to answer questions
such as "How many tyres have you used? Or the other
favourite "How many punctures have you
had?"
