From Gina McAninch:
Thank you so very much for allowing our family to participate with RFAC 2011. There simply are not enough words for me to even begin to express our thoughts and many thanks for what the family, friends and sponsors of RFAC has done by honoring Kenny and our family. We finished up the day speaking with a few of the riders and then headed to the resort, which was amazing. I have pictures of the riders that I will send via email and we want to thank them all as well. We are thankful to each and every person that was present and all the ones who work so hard to volunteer and donate we want to thank them all!!!
Thanks, Gina
