A Few Words from our supporters

Amy's Ride/Run/Walk - Testimonial

Thank you for letting me be a part of the pancreatic cancer walk last Saturday. I decorated my walker and off I went with my friend by my side. We may have been the last ones to the first check point and shown a short cut back to the main tent but we were cheered and applauded for what we accomplished.

It has been a year since my diagnosis. And ten months since surgery with ongoing chemotherapy but I walked in your event. I did something for others because your organization accepted me despite my limitations.

Thank you for being so kind. Thank you for some wonderful volunteers. Thank you for this important fundraiser.

I look forward to next year and doing the entire walk.”

Amy's Ride/Run/Walk - 5K 1st & 2nd Place Winners
Super event. Great cause. Awesome volunteers! And thank you for a race done proper – certified and well marked. And on top of that, there were signs and volunteers at all turns. I’ve done hundreds of races over the years, and you guys did it right!
 
In what other sport do you have a 14 and a 56 year old with first place female and male finishes? And I’m very happy to report that this young lady was ahead of me – I love it when a female takes the overall ‘W’. Her name is Virginia. We talked with her and her family afterward. She’s already competed in some junior events nationally. Positive spirit, great family, and wicked fast! The future is bright.”
 

– Rob G.

Thank for putting on such a great event! I may have not been paying attention, missed a turn and ended up on 563, adding miles and hills, but that was my fault lol. Had a great ride and very thankful for the donations you all have made over the years!”
