Nice work btw Tonia and Garrett! Just received your Kiteboarding 4 Cancer Details email and you and Garrett have put a lot of thought into this effort and have done some great work pulling this all together. (I know you'll be kind and say you've had lots of help.) Just really appreciate it knowing something this big doesn't go off with a lot of hard work.
