Thanks to all the volunteers at the Livestrong Powerstop!

Thank you to all the MVA volunteers who came to run the MVA Power Stop at Marymoor Park for the 2009 edition of the Livestrong Challenge in Seattle. The Livestrong Challenge is the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s signature event and helps raise money in their efforts to unite, inspire and empower people affected by cancer. Sunday’s event raised just over $1 million in their fight to cure cancer

Hundreds of dedicated cyclists rode through the Marymoor Powerstop on the 100 mile loop. The nutritional, hydration, medical and emotional support provided by volunteers made this challenging ride a little easier. Seeing the number of dedicated riders, especially the cancer survivors and people riding in memory of somebody taken by cancer was amazing and inspirational.

I want to thank:

* Tyler and Trista from nuun (www.nuun.com) for helping ensure that riders and our volunteers were properly hydrated.
* Bree from Pete’s Coffee (www.peets.com) in Redmond for getting critical coffee to our volunteers in the morning
* Jessica from Hillcrest Bakery (www.hillcrestbakery.com) in Bothell for getting us amazing doughnuts, cinnamon twists and apple fritters. The Livestrong folks from Texas LOVED them
* Stan Gregg from Gregg’s Cycles (www.greggscycles.com) for providing mechanical assistance from his shops at the Power Stops.

Special thanks to all our awesome volunteers. It was great to see the MVA family pitch in for such a great cause. THANK YOU to:
