Records are being broken both with the number of registered riders (521 and counting) as well as, fundraising dollars, $42,496 and growing each day, leaving the goal of $35,000 in the dust. What this means in the long term is that more children will receive life-changing therapies from Heartspring Outpatient Pediatric Services as the dollars for financial aid continue to build.
