  “Congratulations Arden! You have completed your 11th Year fighting for those without a voice. And I give thanks for the safety of you and all the GCC Riders who are vulnerable on the roadways each September. Every pedal stroke represents the committment of each rider supporting researchers and clinicians to develop innovative treatments. We all depend on them. And many times the researchers do not hear the gratitude delivered from bended knees. May these incredible dollars raised from all of your supporters send the message,"We are thankful for your dedication to scientific investigation!" Arden, in honor of your 846 miles, here is my $846. You are my HERO!!!”
