I will stash memories of our first Courage ride away alongside of our college, drinking days and post-college days of climbing mountains and biking in Crested Butte - among many other things. Thank you Heather, Bart, and Samantha - and the rest of the team - for giving me such a beautiful experience. Hopefully I won't be stopping at the bottom and top of Vail Pass to feed my 2 year old next year (he will be cut off by then!) :) GingUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476206587843852492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683700514997462882.post-69072482749587665802009-08-07T09:51:06.958-06:002009-08-07T09:51:06.958-06:00Congratulations, Heather, on a great ride.

I know how difficult both the physical and emotional logistics of this event were.<br /><br />Samantha did her part--after all she hates to miss a party. She usually comes thru--just with a bit of drama.<br /><br />And--after 3 day of watching Sam and hanging out together, Bart and I are still buddies. LOL!!! Now on to a bigger and even more amazing team next year.<br /><br />I love you all more than words can ever express. You guys are my heros!!!<br /><br />Love,<br />MomMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683700514997462882.post-25113365785421341192009-07-30T23:52:50.390-06:002009-07-30T23:52:50.390-06:00Wow, is all I can say.

But you were a great sport and supporter of your mom--your daddy, too. It was inspiring to see so many people working so hard to raise money to find answers for you and all the other kids that are cared for at Children's Hospital. Holding back the tears just wasn't possible. <br /><br />And what can you say about that mother of yours--what an incredible role model she is for you and so many others. She's the master of making lemonade from lemons. We're so proud of all the Schichtels!<br />Love, Pops & NonnieCyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04583653455249481042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683700514997462882.post-17366797887801328282009-07-30T08:18:39.633-06:002009-07-30T08:18:39.633-06:00My heart is filled with pride.

I have been waiting anxiously for your post from the classic and when I saw it was ready I poured myself a glass of red and am now toasting you; you for being such a wonderful Mom and for having the gift of sharing this story so beautifully. You have become my touchstone in a world where it's easy to forget to be grateful! I'm so proud of you in so many ways...<br /><br />Oh yeah... and I'm ugly-crying too.
