THANK YOU!
"Subscribe to Endurance Riding!"
**AS OF AUGUST 20th, 2013: We have raised $3,047.51! The check is in the mail for The Olmalaika Home in Kenya.**
Tomorrow, I leave for Robie Park… I can’t believe after more than 2 years, Tevis 2013 is upon us! I am both excited and nervous and overwhelmed with all the packing I have to do today. I want to be there already, relaxing in ride camp before the big day… We ride at dawn on Saturday!!!
Before I leave for Tevis, I wanted to post a list of our donors thus far… to date, we’ve raised $2,259.14! Next week, while I’m recovering from the ride, I will be spending some time with my girlfriend, Bren. I will present her with a check, that she will then forward to the girls’ home in Kenya.

I will be thinking of you every minute of your ride Saturday, Jaya, thank you for making me feel special, useful, and loved! Everyone’s generosity has been inspirational and it is exciting to think of the difference this will make in these girls’ lives. Yea Jaya and Asali!
