The Pitjantjatjara Bible Bike Ride has finished!
Mr Neil Blenkinsop has arrived!!
Congratulations to our Senior School Teacher, Neil Blenkinsop who arrived at Pukatja/Ernabella on Monday 14 August, after riding a total of 1428km over 8 days to raise funds for the Pitjantjatjara Children’s Illustrated Bible.
Supported by friend/co-rider Phil, his wife Sally and Health/PE & Sports Coordinator Daryl Porter, Neil rode through intense head-winds, rough terrains, dusty tracks and camped overnight in freezing temperatures.
At 3pm on Monday 14 August, Neil was greeted with jubilation by the Year 11 Emmaus Lands Trip students, teachers, Ernabella Anangu Community and David Barnett of the Bible Translation team of the Bible Society Australia.
We are so proud of Neil for achieving this extraordinary feat for a gospel-centred cause!
So far, Neil has raised over $27,000 for the production and distribution of the Pitjantjatjara Children’s Bible. Help reach the $30,000 goal by donating below!
