When asked about being back on the island,
Alexander stated "It feels great, what else is there to say, It's a very special event, I feel lucky to be part of something that means so much to so many people. Tim and
Kevin Metcalfe have carried on the tradition their Father Tom started 40 years ago, of an amazing civically minded event and has really taken it to another level.
We have been able to raise Over 2.3 Million dollars for charity while having a lot of fun doing it. Not holding the event was tough. For the charity's, for the Community and for us as the people that put on the event. It's good to be back!"
