pouring, from 4-7:30 AM made the morning all the more interesting.
The event was amazing, and the R4R crew's hard work was clearly evident.
So many people spoke about how well organized the event was. Thank
you for all the patronage that so many of you showed on a sometimes rainy,
sometimes sunny, all the time amazing event!! I know I can speak for
the entire R4R crew by stating that this event was life changing for us
all. The time R4R spent together planning this event and the unbelievable
results of the event will bond us together for life! On a personal

have shown God's love for us all, and this event offered me the clearest

us!
