If further proof was ever needed of the fabulous family spirit that makes Trekkers the caring community it has become, it was in evidence by the bucket load at our Christmas party.
Thanks are due to so many. To Barney, for causing us to question why he’s never been invited to Master Chef; not to mention all the time and energy committed by Rachel, Izzy and himself, before and after, the evening’s event. To Brittany, who once more, worked so tirelessly behind the scenes, assisting with the logistics and for the warmth of her welcome. To Jules, whose saxophonic rendition of “White Christmas” is a sure fired chart-topper. To Judith, though absent, who had so loving wrapped and wax-sealed gifts for everyone. Gifts generously donated by her marketing contacts – Sian and Trevor at https://www.troteclaser.com/en-gb/ Teresa at https://www.weleda.co.uk/ and Kate at https://www.wagtail-designs.co.uk/ And to the stokers in attendance, who convincingly trashed the pilots in the trivia quiz.
But the biggest thanks of all must undoubtedly be reserved for two groups of people. Firstly to each of the 37 Trekkers and friends who came together in a clear demonstration that the relationships fostered on tandem saddles, go much further than the miles pedalled. And secondly to every other member of our charity; to the pilots without whose selfless commitments, Trekkers couldn’t function – and to the stokers whose personalities and charisma shine so brightly, as they daily demonstrate that sight loss might be a disability; but it certainly is no inability.
Merry Christmas everyone. And here’s looking forward to many more happy miles and smiles in 2022.
