Jamaica Lambie

You guys have done it, or nearly done it! My hats off to you on your achievement. And like champions, you did it with graceful smiles and teamwork. The grease wears thin on the machine after days and nights and more days, and I hope your friendships are still strong, and your futures have this achievement to always lean on, as a monument to your strength and willpower. I give a shout out to Maria as the Matriarch of this group, and what she has accomplished. And to the media and behind the scenes crew, the Bryan and Luke, up past their bedtime as you jam down the road. Kudos to Marshall, I hope he appreciates the view behind the wheel as much as behind the bars. Hats of to you gentleman and ladies, RAAM 2017 well done!

Heather Lee Jean

Ryan, your youth has never been a barrier for great accomlishments. Proud to suport you and the Dudes as you race for a cure! See you soon. Love Heather 🙂 and Uncle Bob

Nancy Carroll

Ryan, you probably don't remember us, but last year when you came through Wichita, Barry and I took you and the other mechanic (I can't remember his name) to our Bike Walk Wichita headquarters hoping to find the part you needed in the middle of the night. We enjoyed helping in a small way (even though I don't think we had what you needed). Since then, I have kept up with your adventures on Facebook. We have enjoyed watching your progress on the Ramm this year! This is the first year we have actually known a rider :). You and your team members are to be commended for a successful ride. I am a breast cancer survivor. I am pleased your team is riding to raise dollars for brain cancer. Thank you for making the ride and choosing to support cancer research. Bless you all. Nancy and Barry Carroll, Bike Walk Wichita.

Bryce Clark

Jean I expect one hell of a strava upload after you cross that line in Annapolis! It's inspiring to be your friend buddy! Finish strong

Hudson (+ Kristin) DeCou

Hudson made a few grunting noises which I interpreted as "donate to the dudes, mom" so here you are! He wants to help you beat brain cancer so much that he has been kicking up a storm, just like he's on a recumbent bike. Hudson did at least 100 kicks in the past week, so this $100 is from him. One kick = $1. We hope you're having a great time in between the moments of suffering and rain and goo overloads. Make sure you tell Rob he needs to buy you all a drink - or two! - at the finish. It's on the DeCou's. 🙂

Cheryl Grey

Thank you for donating a day of your ride to Billy Grey. He would have loved you guys and gals.

You guys are amazing!! Thank you & good luck!

Steven Feldman

I am donating for 2 reasons. 1. I am a co-worker of your awesome crew member, Lindsey Melfi, and 2) I lost my best friend from childhood, Phillip Kluft, to brain cancer 30 years ago. Phillip never went to college, but he could solve a rubik's cube faster than anyone and he could fix anything. The next time you need to break out your toolbox to fix something on a bike, hoist a wrench to Phillip! Go Lindsey, and thank you to the entire team!

Kristen Liberati

Keep crushing it out there! You guys are rock stars!

Sent with love & gratitude from Squely's Angels & Family. Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is that quiet voice at the end of the day that says...I will try again tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us at our Picnic with Purpose on May 20th, our operation sponsors who have made RAAM possible for us and gave us a platform to raise money for brain cancer research, and to all of the generous local businesses and individuals who donated the time, gift certificates, gift baskets, and experiences to our raffle. Together we raised $3,600, 100% of which will directly fund brain cancer research. This donation reflects the cash that was collected at the event.

Robert DeCou

Go Dudes!!! Just watched the Ohio RAAM show and getting excited to join you guys on this epic adventure. See you all in Oceanside soon...

Thomas Hughes

Sorry I can't make the picnic. Best of luck on the ride, hope I can see you guys soon!
