Incredibly moving, linked from a friends facebook page, I’m in the UK and will keep checking in on your progress.
I’m sure Susan will be so proud.

I’m trying to watch your speech at work…man, I can’t have someone walk in and see what a bumbling idiot I am watching this!

Fatty–
WOW! What a powerful and emotional message. I’ve been following for a while and am proud of how you are using your “voice” for good in this fight. Simply outstanding. I hope you are able to join us in Austin in October. It is a truly moving experience. God bless you and your family.

Tonya from Team Athena here(the only real Athena on the team, might I add) and It was a pleasure to meet you during the cocktail hour on Saturday night. I spotted you, but my partner, Alyssa, is the one who snagged you to say hi to you. I think it made our weekend to meet you.

Your speech was, by far, the best of the night.

Also, I’m sure you offered words of encouragement to many people during the last 5 or 6 miles, but when you rode by and said, “We’re almost there!”, it was just the lift I needed at that moment, so thank you.

I’m so proud to even know you, of you, your team, and your story through the Internet. It’s an amazing, amazing thing and your sharing it has done and will continue to do so much in this fight. I believe in this fight, and I believe that it’ll get stronger and stronger. Thank you. Thank you so very much.

I am awestruck by your speech. Susan would have been so proud of you. Having been through almost a mirror image of Susan’s illness with my dear mother-in-law (she passed on her birthday at age 54), I understand the magnitude of the need to get something done about it. (We are huge supporters of relay for life along with many other breast cancer events) You are doing exactly that and I sit her in awe of all that you, Susan and Team Fatty has accomplished. For Susan, for people like my precious mother-in-law, for mothers, daughters, sisters, wives. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for the sake of my darling 19 year old daughter who is at risk. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God Speed Fatty. You and your children will remain in my prayers for a very long time. God Bless you.

Great speech Fatty, and Jen, you got the moves, Girly-girl.

Wish I could have been there.

Hey, ClydeSteve – you might want to re-read that. Fatty doesn’t say what distance he actually rode, he says, “I figured I’d be able to do the 40-mile version by the time the weekend arrived.” You’ll have to wait for the next installment to find out what he actually rode! :P
