My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support-- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

What can I say?  This is going to be the second time that I, Kelsey, have run w/Team Hoyt and I am stoked! :)   (This year will be Rob's first time to run w/them.) It is such an honor to be associated with Team Hoyt.  I love the heart of these two men.  Perseverence, patience, hard work, pain, humility all describe Rick and Dick Hoyt and the journey that they are on.  The amazing things they do together (triathlons, Iron Man, marathons, half marathons and some shorter races) inspire me to be the best runner/athlete that I can be.  They do so much to get the word out--People with any kind of disability deserve the right to enjoy and be a part of everyday life as you and I.   I am extremely proud of Rick and Dick Hoyt. 

Plus, I heard that Rick may dye his hair a funky color this year!  Maybe Manic Panic Atomic Turquoise to match mine??  Hmm.  Only time will tell...

Please help by giving any amount that you are able.  A donation as small as $5 can be a huge help.

Thanks for your support, my friends!

Blessings,

Kelsey and Rob Raposa
