Well, we didn't win the pair of Ford Boss 302 Mustangs yesterday, as they were given away to a Thomas Barker. We don't know where he lives, but we're pretty sure he is one happy man.

Thanks to Baird King of Quality Ford in Whiteville, who purchased and donated the tickets for us, we held ticket numbers 3624855 through 3625114. Mr. Barker held ticket number 3189995.

But a share of the money from the purchase of the tickets is going to Healing Heroes Network, which helps wounded veterans, and there's just no losing there. And, we're all on our way to exciting adventures with our Personal Endurance Challenges. 

This year, we are screaming past old registration rates, which at this time last year was only 41, or about one-sixth of the 261 registrations we have so far. 

So far, we have 190 people training for the Walk / Run, 57 for the Paddle, 158 for the Bike & Hike, and 19 for the Swim.

How can we not win!
