Fundraising

The Rotary Club of North Harbour has promised close to $NZ 3,000 if Greg completes the 3,734km (2,320 mile) trip down the Mississippi. Funds raised go to Greg's nominated charities - Parkinson and Alzheimer's Research. Most people are pledging small amounts for each of the eleven stages Greg completes. The current goal is to complete stage 4 in the next few days by reaching the 500 mile mark at Minneapolis. Stage 5 ends at the 1000 mile mark, while stage 6 will be completed in St Louis. Other stages are as follows - stage 7 - 1300 miles(Ohio River), stage 8- 1600 miles, 9 - Baton Rouge, 10- New Orleans, 11 New Orleans to Gulf. Greg hopes to finish the journey by returning to Venice Louisianna.
