We would like extend a very sincere thank you to each and every one of our volunteers for devoting their entire day to our event. Our day went so smoothly, each and every one of you really did an incredible job and we could never do it without you.

We thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts and hope that you all return to help again next year. We are so very proud to have Pops and Deb Miles involved in the ride again. They rode up here from Midlothian Virginia along with their friends Rich and Penny. They always leave us with such great memories to keep and are always such a great help not to mention a very special part of our family. We would also like to extend a special thanks to my Dad, who was there from start to finish while battling prostate cancer, it meant a lot to us to have him as a part of our organization he was a great help. Thanks Dad!!

We would also like to thank our bands Mid-Life Crisis and Nervous Energy, both bands volunteered their time and were worth their weights in gold. We have received such great feedback about what an incredible job you all did and we just can’t thank you enough. We look forward to having you both back again next year.

Our little star Alyssa DeFilippo left no eye dry in the crowd, 11 years old and packed with power, she poured her soul into “Just a Dream”.We are so very proud of her and were honored to have her involved in our event. Alyssa will be back for an encore in 2010 and yes, I am posting her singing on “youtube” (stay tuned for the link).

To the riders that went to the Amphitheatre at Station Square, First thank you for your support. It is because of the devoted support from all of you that this day has been a success every single year. We are proud to see familiar faces from years past and people we have met along the way. Thank you for your continued support and outpouring of patriotism. We all know if not for the men and women who defend us we would not have the free right to be here.

Also let us thank Ron Sullivan of Dingbats. Ron has always been a devoted supporter of our organization and has gone out of his way to help see to the success of this run. The meals provided to our riders at the Amphitheatre were provided by Dingbats. I remember at one point looking around and was so proud to see that every single one of our riders was eating. We thank you again Ron for your support and incredible generosity, we couldn’t do this without you and we look forward to working together again next year.

Thank you to Heartland Homes, Inc and the Board of Directors of the New Age Institute of Metaphysics for their generous donations.

To the rest of our angels we have met along the way, Phoenix Interactive Vision, ELF Entertainment, Giggles, MrJohn, Vogel Disposel,.

Thank You and God Bless you for your support to the Men and Women of the United States Marines. For their families left behind, the suffering never ends.
