We had over 550 riders registered this year and to date our fundraising total has gone through the roof! By event day, we had reached and surpassed our $125,000 fundraising goal. As of July 11th, generous pledgors and spectacular fundraisers have brought the total to over $133,000! We are very, very grateful.
