Such a horrible and cruel disease, yet the government drags the chain on research. 

Warren is a very courageous man with determination to see this through, I hope that he succeeds and most importantly that the weather cools down for him on his journey to Canberra. This is a very long road trip through Victoria into New South Wales and into The Australian Capital Territory. Taking between 6 hours to 7 hours 17 minutes depending on what route you take, but he is using a ride on lawnmower so it will take a lot longer due to the fact these vehicles don’t move very fast. 

He will make sure he stays hydrated and has rests along the way. I really hope that the politicians greet him on arrival and see his mission comes to fruition. This is an unselfish effort on Warrens part and knowing that death will be his only release from his suffering. My heart goes out to Warren, his family and all those unfortunate people that suffer from this terrible illness.
