Disabled will benefit from Ride-A-Thon

A very special thank you to the people and organizations that sponsored me on the 2002 Equi-Friends Ride-A-Thon. The ride-a-thon benefits therapeutic horseback riding for disabled children and adults.

I would like to thank Willis Brothers Meats, Arlington Lions Club, Camano Island American Legion (Post and Auxiliary), Utsalady Ladies Aide, All Creatures Veterinary and Diamond Veterinary clinics and Dawson Chiropractor Clinic of Everett. I’d also like to thank all of my personal friends from Boeing and around town that have sponsored me the past three years.

This year was special for me. My goal was to raise $1,000 and really try give something back to the community that I live in. With your support I was able to raise $1,566 for Equi-Friends. So, thank-you, again and see you next year
