Dear Grant,
I have only met you through your writing and your website which has helped me through tough times with useful information. You have had a positive impact. For that I thank you.
When the chips are down it is nice to know you are not alone. Thanks to your efforts, even on the far side of the world there are kind hearted souls to give aide and assistance to travelers facing adversity. You and Susan have created a network of like minded souls out of nothing. For that I thank you as well.
Strength and courage is the best defense against fear and uncertainty.
When times are tough I remember my stubborn ancestors and it gives me comfort.
Kindest regards,
John Downs

More than you know.
Hi Grant, there are no doubt many, many more who support you but hold back from posting. Next time you're in UK we'll have to make a real fuss of you. Lindsay.

Reporting on Grant
I recently stayed with Grant and Susan for a few days and I'm pleased to report that he is just the same...still rolling his eyes at the state of Thelma, my bike, anad at my route planning- so yep, nothing changed there.
Lots of healthy eating and healthy lifestyle - loads of positive energy  and the same zest for life. The chemo isn't fun  , but he's dealing with it in that typically Grant way. I made them some super food veggie Cornish Pasties, stuffed full of all the right things like spinach 
It's amazing and gratifying to see what a great response there is here on the HUBB from so many people around the world. I'm proud to be a part of it.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
