Exhale Fall Charity Ride and Riders4Research thanks you!

Hi hi, Exhalers, family, and friends!

A heart-felt THANK YOU and major kudos to everyone who made this year’s Exhale Fall Charity Ride such an amazing success!!!

Together you all helped to raise over $11,000 toward JDRF’s efforts to end juvenile diabetes!!!  Wow!!!

We really can’t thank you enough!!!

We’re estimating somewhere on the order of 180 riders, which is based on 154 pre-registrations (some being multi-registrant, some being donation-only), and 43 in-person registrations.
There were 122 confirmed via Strava, but many many participants aren’t on Strava.

Whatever the actual number of riders it was a record-breaking event on multiple levels!

Thanks again to everyone!

Now, let’s get back to training every day all year for next year’s event!  😉

Warm Regards,
\Leon and the Exhale Team

Many of you are already past participants in this fundraiser to benefit juvenile diabetes research.
