It has been an inspiration seeing the facebook photos and Videos, except the the one with Jim trying to dance! The Cruzbike team of riders, support staff and especially the bikes, has crushed the whipper snapper (<50 yrs) opposition teams, even my beloved Aussy II team! You are ALL great ambassadors to the cure for brain cancer!

Way to go team Cruzbike! It was so great to meet Maria and most all of the other team members and crew. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet Jim, as he was resting in the camper I think when we were in the WalMart parking lot at Cortez, CO. I lost track of ya'll somewhere between Durango and Bayfield. Ya'll are so encouraging & doing a great job for a great cause. Someday hope to attend one of your Cruzbike getaways... Dan from Farmington (with the Vendetta on the back of the old Plymouth), who found ya'll in Cortez, CO and followed you as far as Durango...

Rachel Engle

Hi team - I've been watching the team's progress all week. I am so in awe of your abilities, stamina, drive, and perseverance. I also know the need for awareness and funding for brain cancer research as it has touched our family through my daughter's anaplastic astrocytoma. We are so thankful for every minute and every mile that Cruz and 4Dudes put towards this cause. Thank you ---- and we can't wait to join you in September for Rim to Rim! You've got this thing - all the way to Annapolis! Rachel

Following your RAAM progress is both fun & inspirational. You each represent the recumbent community well. I'm happy to once again support 3000 Miles to a Cure.

Linnea LeBreton

THIS MESSAGE IS FOR MARIA! Maria Parker, You are my true hero. Do you know why you are my hero? Because you impress me, you have a heart that goes down so deep, I cannot imagine the things you see and understand way down there. Truly you have a fighter's heart. A heart so full of love, passion, resilience, courage and strength. I believe you see a hope to cure brain cancer and because I believe in you I too see a hope for a cure. There is a powerful verse in the bible that says, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. I think of this verse when I think of you because you are a living example of laying down your life to fight against a cancer that has taken the lives of so many loved ones. The love you posses and the rare trait of courage you empower within yourself and others around you is enough but you still you push harder. I will continue to lift you up in prayer, root and cheer you and all of you on. Go Maria, Go CruzBike, go 4 dudes go all of you, GO!!! - Linnea LeBreton

Cheryl & Gil Hoffman

Hi Maria and team, I'm watching you all as you peddle your way across the US especially you Maria. I remember vividly your tenacity as you overcame so many obstacles to finish the race in 2013. That was the year I loss my husband to GBM and that is the bond we share as you loss your sister to the same monster. I think of you often even though I have not been in contact recently and enjoy seeing what you are up to on FB. Praying for all of you and the 4 Dudes team for health, stamina and safety and to finish the race well and raise lots of money to find the cure!! May God bless you to be a blessing to the Brain Tumor Community!! With Love, Alida De Boer
