Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in the very first Rally for Recovery! We are so appreciative of your energy, generosity and team spirit.

We want to give a heartfelt thank you to Kelsey and our therapy team for their creativity and leadership, to all our donors and participants, to our volunteers for keeping everything running smoothly, and to everyone involved in this planning. You made this day possible! ❤️
