Cancer-thon 30 Jan 2010

The following is an account of the Abelle's Field Cancer-thon, on January 30 from 10 AM to 4 PM in Leavenworth. We had 46 participants and raised over $1150.00 for the American Cancer Society. Joyce Kirk of the American Cancer Society was on site to collect the donations.

What a terrific job! The temperature started out at a balmy 22 degrees after six hours it soared to a high of 36 degrees. The sun did shine. Crazy Roger Harrison worked from 4 am to get all the snow off the track. Our race/ride started a little late - about 10:30. The riders were awesome! Great job by all our volunteers - Roger Harrison, Paula Burton, Barb Sheehan, and Shawn Morrelli. Thanks to all the folks who helped with set up and tear down. Thanks to Martin Murphy, Lamont Ealey and Chris Cummins.

We were fortunate to have food donated by Mr. Goodcents and Domino's Pizza of Leavenworth. Door prizes were donated by Maximus Fitness, Body Beautiful Day Spa, Soul Supply Hardware, Social Suppers. T-shirts, trophies, medals, and coffee were donated by Santa Fe Trails Bicycle Shop. Hot chocolate was donated by Baristas. Anderson Rentals provided the porta johns.
