The night started with a silent auction. I saw a Cheryl Crow guitar go for $10,500!

After the Texas BBQ was served—Lance started narrating a slide-show on a projector. He started off by naming off the top fundraisers and went down the list—saying each name out loud. Many of the names had great survivor stories. One of them is 7 year old Spencer Sartin (if you don’t click on another link in this entire post, click on Spencer’s link).

Some of the names couldn’t be their—as they were in hospitals fighting cancer. A couple of names weren’t their because they didn’t make it—and then it hits home why Livestrong is important. [...]

CONGRATS on #3 and way to go – you are my hero and an inspiration to all. And you upstaged a well known cyclist (Lance) with this photo.

So LIVESTRONG and give a big hug to mom and dad for they love you very much.

Rob & Rachel, thank you for raising such a wonderful young man and for all that you do in support of cancer survivors.

In any event, here’s a toast to the end of the treatments, and more and more happy bike rides.

Classic!!!!

I love it!

Please have the principal call either of us if there are issues.
