Here is what our participants had to say about the program...

I don't doubt that we wouldn't be here without each other's support, encouragement and friendship. There was always one of us who was up and positive when the other was down and needed a shoulder to cry (WHINE?) on! This was an amazing ride and I am so happy to have been a part of it. I will forever be thankful for our coach showing me that I really have an athlete inside of me and that if I can only climb out of my box, I can do it!!!!
--Kris, (Member and Mother of 3)

I can not thank my coach and mentors enough for all that they did for me. It is a great feeling being able to finish a race like this, even though I walked it. The YMCA gave me the training and courage to do the training and finish the race. I learned a long time ago that you can touch someone's life forever if you give to them in a way that they feel good about themselves. You guys truly did that for me!
