We had 112 bikes registered. 96 left and 96 made it to the after ride. Many donated as the registered.. Some of who did not even take part in the ride but, just wanted to give. What a beautiful ride it was! I can't wait to do this again next year with Gabriel being cancer free and healthy!!!
Andy & I worked very hard to make sure all the money went to the family. The extra prizes and cokes, hot dog buns and so much more was paid for out of our pockets.. So, that we could give all money raised to this family. Every dime we made is going straight to them!
Gabriel is an amazing child! He will always be in our hearts and prayers. His family was so overwhelmed with all we did for them! And their big hugs made it all worth it. They were strangers and had not much family close by to lean on for support. We showed them that is community cares greatly for them and is supporting them all the way. We have made friends for life with them and will we continue to keep raising money for them and praying Gabe is cancer free and healthy.
Thanks for everything ,
Andy & Jeanette Etheridge
