Claude Harvey a gold coast 63yo, is riding a Mower from Gold Coast to Sydney to raise money for Bravehearts (http://www.bravehearts.org.au), a charity for child victims of sexual result, and is hoping to raise $500,000
Or you might have heard of White Balloon Day. (http://www.whiteballoonday.com.au/Mowerthon.ews)
Every year Claude has pushed a lawn mower from Tweed Heads to Hope Island and back to raise money, but this year he decided to do it bigger.
So if any of you are shooting up/down the highway over next month, the old bloke on the ride-on mower thats slowing down the traffic aint no clown - so instead of giving him the bird, throw him a tenner instead :)
Apparently he is the first person ever to have got permission to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge on a ride-on mower. Even the Pope hasnt done that.
Note: sadly some bureaucratic clown had decided that Claude must pay roughly a $5000 insurance premium because he was pushing a mower on the footpath and might injure someone (its not running, but it might). Hence thats why he rides on the road now. :-)
