A heads up-This is best viewed on a phone. We are working on it as we are upgrading all things!

Thank you!

Now, we move forward.

We will move what’s left in the building onto the ranch.

We want to start camps right away.

J.R. Petersen – Thrivent and Dishin’ With DawnDawn Lemaitre did amaIng with the Thrivent action teams.

We received many wonderful needed items, including a pavilion for the camps, sand to hold it down, many boxes and cubbies and a few dollies! Woot woot!

We recieved a unit- for obstacles for major building, a unit for all office and closet supplies, a unit for all shirts, metals, games and sporting equipment

All provided by the community, for the community, to benefit the whole community.

Movers and shakers. Thank you. Thank you community for showing up

We literally couldn’t do it without you.

We are surrounded by people making it happen:
đŸ’„ Morning Cup Networking
đŸ’„ Dishin’ With Dawn
đŸ’„ J.R. Petersen – Thrivent + our incredible Thrivent Action Team
You didn’t just support us

👉 You SHOWED UP.
And behind the scenes, these businesses stepped in BIG:
đŸ”č Red Clay Waste Solutions – massive dumpster support
đŸ”č Trash & Stash – hauling & storing our largest pieces
đŸ”č East Brainerd Self Storage – protecting our medals & office during the build
đŸ”č Max Steel Buildings – helping us prepare for Summer Camp structures
đŸ”č The Bolles Co. Inc – porta potty support (you KNOW that matters today 😄)
đŸ”č Paul Becker & family – extra trailer when we needed it most
đŸ”č Amon & Michael – tractor work getting the land ready
And that’s just the beginning

LIONHEARTS UPDATES! WE ARE MOVING TO THE RANCH

Tommy matched every donation in March until April!

We came home to a notice to vacate our Lionhearts Facility -home to Lionhearts for the last 7 years.

It was for good reasons and timely and for the best.

I believe I had procrastinated enough and God was giving me a much needed “nudge.” We had planned to be moved into the Lionhearts Property by now, but we were so busy racing, having camps, raisng money and movie making.

Lionhearts is free to all youth and special credit due to Spartan, Race Ready Obstacles, Savage Race Fitbar and SO many other sponsors.

All donations are tax deductible.

Luccketta won a wonderful award at the New England OCR Expo for the second year in a row. What a great accomplishment and I (shell) was able to join him.
