Thank you for all that you have done in supporting our journey to fund research for OMS and pediatric cancer. It's still somewhat incomprehensible how far we've come in the past 5 years. I still remember setting a goal of $10K for my first Pablove Across America without a clue as to how we'd turn that into a research grant. Since then we've raised $300K+, ridden thousands of miles, hiked with friends and family, and have funded 4 OMS research projects that are still active.
As 2015 comes to a close, we've tallied the results from our San Francisco hike, the St. Louis walkathon, and Pablove Across America 2015. With your donations, along with significant support from the OMS Life Foundation, we have raised another $100K for our Pablove OMS Fund and can renew or fund 2 more research grants in 2016!
Thank you for your tremendous monetary support but also for all of the other ways you've rallied together to support our cause. You've brought us food and coffee to the hospital on treatment days, babysat so we can train or go to doctor appointments, fixed and tuned our bikes and gear for PAA and hiked with us in San Francisco, St. Louis and beyond. Keira's friends cleared their piggy banks this year, held walkathons, and Crystal's school community held their own fundraiser to support our cause. You've sent messages of support, words of encouragement, taken steps with us and turned the pedals along with us. We are humbled and grateful that you have joined us in this journey.
