Chris Lane Fundraising Effort Hi everyone. I've been chatting with a young man named Joe Pignataro, who was one of Chris Lane's best friends. He had planned to walk Kokoda last year and was going to pull out because of Chris's death. He went ahead in October and dedicated his walk to Chris. He's written a book which can be purchased for $15.00. To read his blog about his journey, here is the link - jpfindingmyself.com/Hi again. Further to my earlier posting, Joe has just contacted me and ask that I pass on that all profits from the book will go to the Chris Lane Memorial Fund. Here's your chance to contribute to a very personal cause! Jump onto the link if you'd like to and let's support this young man. Regards Jan Allen |

A message from Andrea Kane (Chris's Sister) to the friends of Christopher Lane
If you would like to come down and join us at "The Lincolnshire Arms Hotel" -1 Keilor Rd Essendon (Affectionately known as The Link) in Essendon on Saturday August 16 for Chris's anniversary.
If your free we would love everyone to come down have a beer, a laugh and tell a story or two.
Unfortunately for us all the gatherings and wake seem a blur now , as you can imagine we were not thinking all that clearly, and we would love to hear your stories again and tell you ours.
If your free please come anytime after 4 ( we will be there till late) Pass this along to anyone who might like to come down.
Thanks
Andrea
To All: Please spread the word and come along when you have time.

as a point of interest, with the final perpetrator being convicted in the states, Channel 9 has announced that a program, "The Chris Lane Story" is to be aired at 8.30 pm on the 28th of June.
I'm sure many of us who knew Chris would like to watch this.
