Quote From A P.A.C.E. Trek Supporter:

"I feel like today we are finding, more and more, that people and their accomplishments aren’t quite what
they seem. And I must admit that when I took my 3-year-old daughter to watch and meet you on a
remote section of Highway 12... I didn’t quite know what to expect. Watching you run directly into a
pounding wind, over miles of tough, hilly road, what I found was an authentic inspiration. Someone that
I feel fortunate to have met and that my daughter can truly look up to."
