THE TATNELL FAMILY ARE READY TO RELAY  / Kylie Harris (family)
The Tatnell Family are back with an ambition to make GT proud. We are honouring his wish and doing our best to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and support services.

The term cancer ways heavily on most people’s hearts, as this tragic disease is uniting us all in more ways than we care to imagine.

With this in mind, we hope that you may join us on this journey to help defeat cancer. We would greatly appreciate it if you could help us share the attached information and help our team “The GT Allstars” raise some funds, for all our futures.

Kind Regards

The Tatnell Family.

February 2008

The GT Allstars are back with a vengeance and ready to raise some crucial funds to help make a difference for all our futures in the fight against cancer.

The show stopped on the 13th May 2007 when “speedway’s greatest showman” took his final chequered flag. After an inspirational battle, George Tatnell lost the fight of his life to pancreatic cancer.

On the 3rd May 2008 George Tatnell’s family and friends will honour his wish to continue raising funds for Cancer research, education and support services by entering their team “The GT Allstars” in The Cancer Council’s Sutherland Shire Relay for Life. It is an overnight event whereby teams of people take turns to walk/run around their local oval in order to raise vital funds in the goal of defeating cancer.

“Celebrate life and create hope by sponsoring our team - The GT Allstars”.
It is our mission to honour the many lives touched by cancer and walk with pride, so that we may all continue to live with passion, purpose and meaning.

If you or someone you know would like to know more about our team or make a donation you can do so via the following link:
www.relay.cancercouncil.com.au/?2008/sutherland_shire_2008/the_gt_allstars


Alternatively cheques can be made payable to: “Relay for Life”
Postal address: C/- Gale Gleeson, 77 Bonds Road, Punchbowl NSW 2196

We all have the power to change someone’s life, to give a moment that will be cherished forever. A kind honest act can bring more meaning to someone who needs it more than they know.

Thank you for your support,
The Tatnell Family.

Captain George  / Erin And Sleepy Tripp (Competitor/Friend)

Strangely, I found this website the day after Evel Knievel has (also) past away - George nick-named me Evil many years ago in Indy and when I received a call and heard "Evil" I knew it was George calling - unique is an understatement for George - he was a one of a kind and we have fond, fond memories of our days of racing together or him passing through LA - RIP Captain George

Our condolences to George's family as we too lost a legend, dad, 29 years ago but his memory, as Georges will, lives in our heart forever.

I was born too late to see you in your earlier days at the showground but when I did start to get interested in Sprintcars at PCR I did manage to see you and Brooke in the Winfield cars together.  I will miss you but you will be remembered through my children and they will know the name GEORGE TATNELL. To friends and family my deepest condolences. Victoria Hildebrandt

We'll never forget you George  / Paul Allitt (Fan)
I feel lucky to have seen you race so many times, you never slowed down, not ever, and as a teenager I can remember feeling slightly intimidated going up and asking for an autograph, but you were so humble to talk to, that left a lasting impression and respect that will last my lifetime ,  that poster that you signed will always bring back memories of the first time I met you.
Some years later while writing pit reports for a magazine, you were always approachable even if things didn't go well for you in a race, to me that made you stand out from your competitors.
My thoughts go out to your family
Thanks for many years of entertainment
Regards Paul Allitt.

Sympathy to the Tatnell Family  / Gail Fitt (Worked with George whilst working at Shell Australia )
I had the privilege of knowing 'Gorgeous' George whilst working at Shell Australia. He was the most fun loving character that I had ever met in Motorsport. George always treated me like 'royalty' when I attended race meets and he always had that cheeky smile which would always brightened my day. 

My prayers go out to Brooke and the whole Tatnell family during this difficult time.  It was a pleasure to have known George.  RIP 'Gorgeous' love, Gail xoxoxo  Close

A true Legend  / Darren Hossack
