"This is a very emotional time in our family as our Aunty Brenda Kvale just passed away on July 6th and her funeral is July 12th. I saw your Wild Pink Yonder.com ad and thought of Aunty Brenda as she is a horse lover and trail rider for years.

"Just wanted to let you know we wholeheartedly support your cause and we have selected the Pink Breast Cancer Ribbon as our theme logo in our Rotary Park Flowerbed this year.
I am excitedly looking at it daily and waiting
for the ribbon to stand out and proclaim
"Support Everyone who is Fighting To Survive Breast Cancer".

So, I'm driving home last week and listening to my fave radio station, EZ Rock 104.9, and wouldn't you know the morning crew start discussing you and praising you and Rusty.
So, I call in and tell them I was your nurse, and of course,
that won me a few seconds on the air,
and told the world what a great experience last year was
and that we needed lots of volunteers and RIDERS
for the upcoming year.
Told them the website address and got the morning dj
to commit to helping out WPY as well! Hee hee!

I look forward to next year's ride.
I've told lots of people how good it was -- great cause --
and I'm going back next year!
Hopefully for more than just the one day.

"Did we ever have a blast on the weekend!
It was everything we expected and more.
Just sent out a big blast looking for more sponsors
so perhaps I can ride a few more days.
Hedi
PS ...My husband thinks I should plan on
a couple of weeks next year!

I thought it would be difficult to raise our $1,200
for our 3-day ride
but every penny of it came from donations!

I have printed out more pledge sheets,
but ran out of space on the one that we had with us!
Didn't expect such a wonderful response!"

"I am a family physician in Fort Saskatchewan and breast cancer is the number one cancer diagnosis I make.
I have lost many patients that I had bonded with to breast cancer. My office manager and best friend lost her mother to breast cancer ...
I believe it impacts all of us ...
Tell me what else I could do that would help."
Dr. Linda C

"I will ride for my aunt who is no longer with us
and my grandmother ..."
Bailey

"We can't wait to hoot 'n'holler as you enter town.
We just held a staff meeting this morning and are well under way with plans to pinkify ourselves.
Best of luck to you and we will be waitng!"

We hope you’ll ride with us, starting Sept 10th.

All funds raised by Wild Pink Yonder
in Manitoba will stay in Manitoba
and be used for breast cancer research
as directed by CancerCare Manitoba!

In Alberta, we took an outrageously pink covered wagon and an entourage of outriders called The Hole in the Head Gang to 22 towns throughout central Alberta. Our purpose was (and still is) to raise money that will be used to fight breast cancer.

Riders came from far and wide to Ride Off Into the Wild Pink Yonder.

Towns along our route rose to the occasion, offering us a place to stay for the night and, in most cases, feeding our group.

We sweetened the pot for towns by incorporating a contest we call Pinkest Little Town in the West. It offers towns an opportunity to go wild (and pink) -- and potentially win a free country music concert. The winning town can throw open the doors for everyone in town or charge admission and use the money to, say, build a new playground. The concert is theirs to do with as they wish. Our winner also wins bragging rights in the form of town entrance signs that proclaim them to be The Pinkest Little Town in the West.

In many towns the breakfasts and suppers weren’t just for our riders. They were for locals too, and became part of the town’s fundraising strategy to win Pinkest Little Town in the West. This was particularly beneficial because it raised significant funds for our cause while still making our visit fun for everyone -- and it helped us keep our costs down so that we could write a larger cheque for breast cancer research, treatment and education.

We now extend the challenge to Manitoba towns to top the "pinkness" of Alberta's towns!!
