Post From Bri!

Hello! I'm finally feeling well enough to respond:)
I want to thank everyone for their generous donations to the American Cancer Society on my behalf. I also want to thank all of you for your continued compassion as I journey on the road to recovery. Your time and energy devoted to the bake sale, bracelet sales and the upcoming dance has been phenomenal! I feel truly blessed for this outpouring of care and support.
Also AWESOME job with Bikers for Bri! My team raised over $10,000 for rare cancer research at Sloan Kettering in New York.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming dance on April 30 at the White River American Legion!
Love,
Bri
