Thank you so much. We cheered you every pedal of the way We cried because of the outpouring of love and encouragement you received and for the gift of being able to share in your journey. We are so thankful to have you and the girls in our lifes.

I have shed a few tears as I read your blogs each night— anxiously awaiting to hear what each day had to bring. I am overwhelmed and amazed at the strength of each of you guys.
I did choose to read your blog–because you are a woman– and I knew that it would have more words than the men’s– although I have read Kyle & Paul’s faithfully, also!
Thank you for sharing with us!

Mary,
Hi! This is Geri’s daughter. I have been following your blog all week, and I just want to congratulate you on your accomplishment. You are truly an inspiration, and what you have done is incredible. I am so glad to hear that this was such an enjoyable experience, because I am not sure I would be so joyful after 200 miles of biking, especially in a little less then a week! Congratulations again.

Mary
You are amazing. At some point in everyone’s life we all have defining moments. This week you tapped an inner strength that you did know you possessed and rose above the physical and mental adversity to achieve your goal, icluding walking up the big ass hill!You shifted the course of your life and others by redefining your physical and mental personal limits. Is there a greater sense of accomplishment and satisfaction knowing you gave all had.
I think this is the beginning of greater things to come.

God Bless and Congratualtions on the Ride
