Ride for Cure 2012
As many of you know I have been involved with the Susan G Komen group in our state for the past few years. Having started the Ride for the Cure event to generate funding for breast cancer research and primarily to help fund local groups get mammograms done to those who cannot afford it. The photos attached are just a few of the hundreds that were taken yesterday October 21. We had close to 100 horses present, although I do not yet have the official amount brought in, It is estimated to be around $65,000 about 11 grand more then last year.
Twp Pinked up girls at the starting point.
Dena and her pony Faith. This young lady 16 years old earned over $1500 this year. Pony goes to senior centers and kids hospitals on weekends to cheer people up.
My wife in rear and her friend out on the back wood hunting trail
One rider just getting out on the trails.
This group combined earned just a bit over $15,200.!
It took 11 cans of party hair spray paint to get this done.
A few of the many returning from a three hour trail ride.
A few coming back after a great 10 mile ride in the woods.

So glad that it was a success! I had been waiting to hear news of how it went and just wish I still had my horse. Would have hauled her up and joined in the ride!!!
