Letter to Lois from an awesome Univ of Texas student- Jamie Hill

 
Mrs. Libenson and Riders,
My name is Jamie Hill. I am a college freshman currently attending UT Austin but my hometown is Fort Davis, TX. I actually saw your poster up in our local store the day after you all had left Fort Davis. I am sad to say I missed that opportunity to get to meet you guys. I just wanted to send you all this email of encouragement and tell you to keep up the great work! Here at UT we've got a group of college students also aiming to fight against cancer. We are called Texas4000 and each year about 50 UT students spend their summer riding from Austin to Anchorage AK in order to raise money for cancer research. I am new to the organization and will be riding next summer. It is just inspiring and encouraging to see others doing the same thing for their loved ones. I admire you all greatly. I also saw that you will be in Austin in a little over a week. I know I would love to meet you all (and others on my team as well). If there is any chance we could meet up, please let me know. Also, we start all of our Monday night meetings off with ride dedications, whoever we choose to ride for that week and along the way. I just wanted to let you all know that I have decided to give my dedication this week to you all, your cause, and Sammy. You all will be in my prayers as you finish up the rest of your journey.
God Bless and Keep up the fight,
Jamie Hill
