40 Inspirational Speeches in 2 Minutes

So recently Courtney and i have run into a few more "bumps in the road" than we would like. I think we filled our annual quota in just the last 2 months. I am sure everyone has had days, weeks, months, even years like that. It can be exhausting. But today i came across this clip....so for us, and for anyone else out there who needs a little encouragement enjoy! I know i did. I can't get enough of Fozzy's "Shame on you" Ron Livingston's "your like a big bear man!" or the grinch clip. This seriously made my day

Lotoja--not just a race!!

Scotty

this tough stallion battled crazy leg cramps early on but fought to the finish

i love you and am so proud to be your wife!

a special thanks to the Jacobsen Construction Team for adopting him...and giving him a jersey!!

Cousin Mike and Uncle Bill

this father son duo had quite the showing

Mike placed 5th in his start time group....and simply flew the entire race

and at 63 years old Bill completed the race and inspired us all

Ben - a.k.a. FIRESTORM

In late July Ben was diagnosed with cancer

He starts chemo-therapy on the 20th but rocked Lotoja with a strong body and even stronger spirit.

I cried when he crossed the finish line assured that if he could ride 206 miles in one day with cancer that

he would be able to use that same strong body and spirit to fight the cancer.

Team Firestorm

below are a few of the proud members of Team Firestorm

Some of us drove support, some made banners and signs, some drove many miles to watch the finish,

some cheered from Montana, others cheered from Utah,

and all and more are cheering for Ben in his race and fight against cancer!

We love you!

Lotoja...not just a race! A phenomenal day!
