Now, as members of Road Warriors 2010, it is our privilege and honor to help these wounded men and women in their fight to win back the healthiest, most productive civilian life possible. So many people have joined in with enthusiasm and generosity to make ROAD WARRIORS 2010 happen. Huge shout out to our Warriors and Supporters On Board....
Dave Roberts, my best friend, husband of 32 years and fellow Warrior (walker-hiker guy). Thanks for helping me keep my eyes on the prize.
Patti Cowger (our very first Road Warrior ) Thanks for your constant support and invaluable advice from the inception of RW 2010. You see things I don't and I love having your creative second set of eyes. Thanks for never doubting that we could do this and for your love of country and those who serve her selflessly.
Tom Bacon for asking me "Do you need help" and for actually showing up to help me all day long for the Kick Off. You're a great advocate for wounded warriors.
Richard Mastronardo for being my first donor!
Joanie Greggains for the Pace Walk tapes donated to give to our participants and for always being willing to announce our events on KGO radio. This kind of exposure in the Bay Area...for free...is an incredible blessing.
Mike Vandewalker from KHS for being willing to break the rules of the high school reunion website and put up a link to RW2010. I found out it's awesome to know the webmaster!
Doug Miller, Pleasanton VFW Post 6298 Commander...Doug came up to our recruiting table at the 4th of July Celebration and asked, "How can I help you?" Doug, we want to help you! His work with the Army allows him to actively support 58 wounded warriors in the Bay Area, Central Valley and Reno. Doug is helping us learn how we can be involved in the lives of severely injured veterans in our area. Thanks for all your time and expertise. It means the world to us.
Paleo Man, Daniel "B"...what an incredible encouragement you were to us when you joined up and let us know you were "ecstactic about this inspiring event". No wonder you have so many supporters and sponsors for your efforts! I hope you know, you are an inspiration to me.
John Silveira and the Pleasanton Certified Farmers Market...what can I say? John has volunteered to sponsor my 1,000 miles at $.75 per mile and is asking shoppers at our market to donate the same or more to benefit the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund. I am so very blessed by this pledge and grateful for young men like John's sons, both Marine Corps veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Bronwyn Mason-when Bronwyn found out about the $9.11 donation for wounded warriors, she added an extra zero! We love extra zeros in this case! Bronwyn's textile artwork is proudly displayed as a part of my booth at the Farmers' Market. I think of her every time I display it and now have another reason to be grateful for her friendship and kindness.
Here are the names of the awesome Road Warriors I have met face to face at one of our events or who have signed up on line...You guys knock my socks off every time you say, "I'll sign up. I can do this." Thanks so much for all your hard work out there and for keeping our troops on your minds and in your hearts...
