The 4th Annual Kelly Brush Century Ride was a phenomenal success by all accounts. With the new 100 mile course the Ride attracted an amazing 495 riders, a dramatic 40% increase over 2008. Fundraising was also up with over $200,000 raised, also a nearly 40% increase over 2008. More importantly than the numbers, perhaps, was the enthusiasm and dedication of the crowd of riders, volunteers, and supporters in Middlebury on September 12th this year. Just take a look at the photos on the inside pages to see what a great event it was.

Among the riders were 16 handcyclists this year that came out to support the Kelly Brush Foundation cause. Many of these riders were themselves KBF grant recipients, supporting the cause which has supported them. They all worked together to raise over $10,000 in support of the Kelly Brush Foundation. Together they will help the KBF purchase two handcyclists for new grant applicants this year! Sarah Will & Chris Waddell, both accomplished Paralympian athletes, flew out to Vermont to participate in the ride this year and put their support behind the KBF cause.

The mood of the Ride and the crowd was excited, joyful, and supportive. The Kelly Brush Foundation thanks all 495 riders, 63 volunteers, and 1,401 donors who made this year’s Century Ride such a huge success. We look forward to an even bigger event in 2010!

With Love and Thanks,

Kelly, Lindsay, Mary, and Charlie
