Many thanks to all those who helped us raise money for the RUSS Appeal, by purchasing their own slice of mountain bike history; a limited edition Mountain Mayhem print.
The cheque has now been sent out, but if you think you’d still like to help raise funds for this excellent cause yourself, take a look at the website for ideas and inspiration. You never know when you might need help out there yourself...
The Russ Appeal - what’s that?
Sometimes things happen that touch the true reality of life. Russ Pinder’s mountain bike accident and subsequent paralysis was one of those. A devastating consequence of a frivolous pastime...
It may well be for selfish reasons that RUSS now exists. It makes us feel better. Our ridiculous, hedonistic pursuit is, for once, putting something back. Old hippies call it karma, religions have their own explanations and the cynics know they may need a helicopter themselves one day.
The definition of the RUSS Appeal is a charity fund raising organisation started in March 03 immediately after Russ’s crash. Efforts are being focused on raising money for the Air Ambulance and other worthy causes.
