Simon has been invited as the special guest of the 2008 Kelly Country Classic. The event, in its 3rd year, is the annual fundraising event for Northeast Health Wangaratta. The event has raised $11,500 for the hospital in its first two years and the committee hopes this figure is over and above $20,000 after the ride on November 9th. "This is a great cause and one that I am more than happy to assist. I spent a bit of time in the Wangaratta hospital after a motor bike crash a number of years ago so it is nice to be able to give something back" said Simon. Simon will meet with ride participants and help start each of the three Kelly Country Classic rides before jumping on his bike to enjoy some of the picturesque landscapes of the Kelly Country. For more information and to enter in the ride, please visit the Northeast Health Wangaratta website at www.nhw.hume.org.au
