Update on the two riders injured in Group 1 yesterday:
Dave Green from Linwood, Michigan is very sore after a mishap about 80 miles from Tok, Alaska yesterday.
Betty Pattullo from Caro, Michigan is currently in Anchorage, Alaska after being taken there last night for observation. The report this morning is no broken bones or major problems. After arriving in Tok, Alaska yesterday afternoon, she had a freak accident at our hotel, when her throttle stuck, while moving her sled across the parking lot after clearing US customs. She is more then a little upset after successfully making the 4000 mile trek and than this happens..
Please keep both Dave and Betty in your prayers as they recover..
Welcome to Alaska.
Have Dave Boomstra give me a call asap. 907-978-4938
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Dave and Betty from Gord’s little sister, Kathryn!
To both Dave and Betty….maintain your pride in your remarkable accomplishment of 4000 miles for Diabetes Research! You could have been hurt crossing the road at home, instead you took on this adventure for this fine cause and ran into misfortune, upon it’s completion…but not before you achieved what you set out to do, personally, and for the cause. You both MADE IT and sincere congratulations!
Congratulations everyone!!! Gives me the urge to try it next year. Speedy recovery to Betty and Dave. I think the safety team did a remarkable job. Can’t wait till you get home, Doug, and tell me all the stories.
God’s blessings and healing powers be on Betty and Dave.
Congratulations Everyone, Mark Dubie …hats off to you. You made it!! How many ended up finishing the trip?
All the best and a speedy recovery to Betty and Dave. I think Betty just wanted to see a little more of Alaska. Everyone has done a fantastic job!!!
