A final “huge” thank you to all of you who supported incredible athletes just like them! Your generosity enabled us to raise beyond our goal of $150,000 for Challenged Athletes 🎉. Thank you for following along to hear their stories and get to know them as we did. Truly the highlight of our 10 weeks crossing this beautiful country!
We also want thank each of the CAF grant recipients we met for allowing us to take time out of their busy lives to meet with us! CAF is proud to support your pursuits in sports. You are truly the heart of our mission👍!
Best always and God bless,
Bill (thestache) and Amy
The perfect ending…THANKFULNESS!!!

There are no words and yet so many words to capture what you have accomplished… sharing, inspiring, motivating, spreading joy and encouragement and kindness for humanity for those with challenges most of us will never understand. And yet we get great understanding from their strength, fight and determination. Thank you Bill and Amy for shining your light on them, and their light on us. As I say, “Perpetuate the Positive. BE part of the Good Sports Story.” you do and you are, to the nth degree. “) Jane
