Lars’ Last Comments

Hi. It’s Lars, the Towel Boy again (inside joke) having returned to Greenville earlier today. Big Joe, Joey, Jeff and I shared 20 hours worth of driving duties in bringing the bus, bikes and LOTS of luggage back from Austin. I never realized I could contort my body into a 2-wide bus seat in so many ways, all in search of 15-minute cat naps. Anyway, it was a great opportunity to reflect on events of the past week with Jeff (a friend from our college days), Big Joe and Joey. I think we were all in agreement that it was an amazing week. It was very different from last years ride and, in many respects, even better. Sure, there were challenges but, when you bring 40+ people together with a common purpose, challenges become opportunities for good things to happen. Again for the second year, the support and encouragement from friends, family and “fans” back home meant all the world to the P3C3 team. And once we got to Austin on Thursday, the energy and focus and purpose of the nearly 4,000 people in town for the LiveSTRONG Challenge energized us even more to continue our fight. To all those who participated in the 2009 P3 Challenge To Conquer Cancer, thank you for for making the past 9 days so memorable. The battle with cancer will continue in 2010 and beyond and I’m sure P3C3 will be leading the charge from Greenville.

LiveSTRONG!
