Jam For A Cure Ready To Go
Tuesday 21 September 2010
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2 - Frankston Skate Park - 12noon
The event has been created out of necessity, Fletcher Blu, 9 years old was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in August of 2009. Instead of sitting on his hands waiting for someone else to raise the money needed to find a cure for this chronic illness which effects over 140,000 Australians, he has proactively wanted to do something.
Putting his love of BMX with the life saving fight for a cure of type 1 diabetes was a no brainer. Fletcher has said ‘I am so excited to meet my favorite riders in Nick Cooper and Cam Pinata, I really can’t believe they are coming so far just to help me raise money so one day I no longer have blood tests every two hours and two insulin injections every day. I hope they realize that this day actually is helping to extend my life and save the lives of countless others’.
The Jam is very lucky to have exceptional support from sponsors; Unit, Pilgrim BMX , Colony BMX, LKI, Sealy’s Cycles, Dirty Pumper, Monster Energy, Magneto Designs, Mel Ransom Events & Bilko22.com.
Riders are invited to register online or on the day from 12noon. Spectator entry is free, sausage sizzle, drinks and raffle tickets will be on sale on the day. All proceeds will be donated to the JDRF Walk for a Cure.

How much for a lift pass?
Tuesday 21 September 2010
New Zealand's South Island has been getting hammered by a huge storm this past week, and as well as wreaking havoc on livestock in the high country, it's also transformed much of the area into a winter wonderland.
Check out what Dan and Brett Frew's farm - the site of the Farm Jam - looks like at the moment. The boys won't need to head to Cardrona's Snow Park any time soon; they've practically got it in their back yard.
Brett Frew said this little dump didn't stick around for long, but another biterly cold southerly front about to smash the South Island later today is expected to bring snow to near sea level, meaning the boys could see a repeat of this sight by tomorrow morning.
Time to wax those boards, lads!
What a difference six months can make. Top: The Farm Jam course the day of the contest in March. Bottom: how the same course it looked yesterday.
