Hello my athlete friends: Our pub night fundraiser for conquer cancer bike ride was a great success, over 100 in attendance and we raised over $3000.00, that is fantastic results. Thank you to all those who contributed time, prizes and donations, best of all, we all had a great time. Fundraising has become a lot easier for me since I realized the proceeds are not for me but for a very worthwhile cause and all I get out of this is a sore ass. Hats off to Amanda Hill for organizing the event and seeing it through from beginning to end, it’s efforts like this that hopefully one day we can live in a world that is free of cancer. Thank you all for attending and god bless.
