Henry Anderson: Day 2 & 3 Summary

Dear Zach,

Son, I hope some day that you too will have the opportunity to be part of something that tests your limits, forges new friendships, and provides you with goals that are worth striving for--each year this event offers that special mix of elements that make it all worthwhile.

The list of memories from this year is a long one, and thoughts drift to 2008 and how we can possibly replicate the dynamic...yet somehow, I know we will...

Dear Dodo,

Hun, thanks for letting me out of the house each year for these precious few days of comraderie and teamwork--as much fun as they are, I am looking forward to being back home even more.

Dear Sponsors,

Sorry for the mushy stuff above, but I need to thank over 50 of you this year--without which, I would simply be unable to attend. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation extends its deepest gratitude and so do I.

Dear Ride for the Cure teammates,

Where do you begin? You are the life of the event--without your dedication, determination, humour and passion--it would not survive. Thanks for your commitment and be proud of what you have achieved.
