Hello “YES” People

I am honored and humbled that you decided to say YES.

YES – to this cause, these kids, to the memory of Pat, Tim and Tim, in honoring Scott and to my many notes.

As many of you know, yesterday was Match Day for the GCC challenge this year.

As a team, we started the week with 29 sponsors with donations around $4800.

During the 24 hours on Wednesday, 40 people decided to say YES, donating around $7200.

This morning, we were told an additional $5500 has been added as part of the match.

Now with seventy sponsors, you have helped us with a total of over $17500. Just some perspective - it took my first 5 years to raise this much.

In the spring, when the goal was established of getting one more dollar than we did in 2025, I really felt it would never come true. But you did it and then some. Amazing.

As our paths have crossed over the years – Schultz, Sughrua, Viators, Marys, IHM, Cary, TCGA, Motorola, Allstate and the list goes on – THANK YOU!

Wednesday 9/9 is Match Day

My junior advisors want to thank you for teaming up with us for this cause.

Week 1

It has been a busy week. My bike found the trail a few times, which is great. I haven’t ridden much this year but making up for it now.

We were also informed that Match Day will happen on Wednesday 9/9 for any online donations done on that day. Not asking you to give again (unless you want to).

You may consider forwarding my link to others- kids, other family members, friends, coworkers, etc. – to see if they would like to join our team, especially on Match Day.

There are now over 18,000 riders across the nation registered for this challenge.

Thanks for joining me on this ride!
