Good afternoon,

I hope the race season is going well for everyone so far and good luck to those of you racing this weekend. For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Tracie Morris and I’ve raced for the past 10 years. I graduated from IU in ’94 and rode Little 500 for Alpha Gamma Delta. Most of you are aware that my fiancé, Bret Neylon, was seriously injured at the end of bike race last summer leaving him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Bret is doing remarkably well thanks to the help of thousands of people during the past year. He is nearing the end of the high school track season with state finals next week in Bloomington after which he’ll begin preparing for his return to teaching in the fall.

Last summer, the Brownsburg Community and hundreds of friends, family, co-workers, and teammates helped organize a 5K walk and run in Brownsburg (west side of Indianapolis) to raise funds to assist in paying Bret’s medical costs. Organizers are busy preparing for the 2nd Annual Bret Neylon Walk & Run to be held on July 28th.  All entry fees will be tax deductible this year with the proceeds going to the National Transplant Assistance Fund where Bret has an account established to assist in covering expenses that are not covered by other means.

If anyone is interested in volunteering the day the of the race (July 28th) to assist with registration, traffic, and other logistics, please let me know. Volunteers will get a free t-shirt and lunch.

Bret and I plan to make it to at least a few races this summer, so we’ll hope to see you there.

 

Thanks!

Hello! I plan to ride pretty easy tonight, perhaps with a few short jumps thrown in.  I'd like to do 1-1.5 hours, and we could meet at SOMA/Laughing Planet at 5:30.  Please let me know if you plan to join me...otherwise, I will just leave from home. Later, Randi
