Purple Ride Information & T-Shirt Design

Purple Ride T-Shirts...

(T-Shirt Front...sideways, sorry)

T-Shirt Back

As a thank you to those of you riding (virtual riders included) and hopefully an encouragement to increase participation and gain MORE members for our Praying for Annie M team we are having special t-shirts made! Attached are photos of the t-shirt design. Last fall when we sent out 'Rally Bands' we included a note which read...

"David didn't have the capacity to face Goliath on his own...neither does our family

 

During battle, it looked as if all David had was a few stones and a sling shot, BUT, in fact he had more, He had God...so do we!

God, in His Great Power, helped David be courageous and victorious...and we pray that he will do the same as we battle our very own giant (cancer)!"

 

In effort to keep with our 'battle' theme, the t-shirts will be purple (the color that represents Pancreatic Cancer) with white printing. The front of the shirt will have the verse from the Rally Bands across the front as Jesus' words in Mark 10:52 reiterate God's power and ability to heal as He says '...your faith has healed you...". The back of the shirts will have a sling shot with five stones beneath it. The slingshot is made up of God's different attributes to remind that He is our Ultimate 'weapon' and source of protection and the stones represent the avenues in which God works through us, His precious children and how we respond to His loving protection.

The shirts are available in youth sizes xs-xl and adult sizes s-xl. If you have already registered to ride (virtual riders included) OR IF YOU ARE PLANNING to register, please email us your shirt size by Monday, August 27th to assure that our order is complete and that shirts can be delivered before the ride. Virtual riders, when you email your shirt size please include your mailing address and we will send shirts to you so that you can participate in a tangible way the day of the ride as we hope the shirts provide a tangible reminder to pray for the families riding who have been affected by Pancreatic Cancer. It will be so humbling/encouraging to think about the shirts being worn across the country as you all continue to bless our family with your prayer support!

It would be such an honor to bike alongside each of you as you all continue to bless our family by your willingness to intercede on my Mom's behalf. Below is information regarding the registration process...

Please Support Pancreatic Cancer Research and Care by joining in the Purple Ride on Saturday morning, September 15, 2012 at Elm Creek Regional Park in Maple Grove, Minnesota.
The Purple Ride is an 8 mile or 25 mile leisurely bike ride for the entire family.
To register, please go to the link below or Google “Purple Ride.” You will need to register online by August 17 to receive a T-Shirt.
You can register individually (paying the $25 registration fee for adults or $10 for kids) or join as a member of the “Praying for Annie M” team! To join our team, follow the team registration tabs, and look for the name “Praying for Annie M” in the drop down box. Please note, the Pancreatic Action Network (PanCan, the sponsor of the Purple Ride) asks that everyone who joins a team try to gather donations that total $150 or more per team member. If you join our team but are not able to fund raise for the entire $150 target, that is okay as it is only a goal and PanCan does not require that any specific amount be raised (the only required amount is the individual registration fee of $25 for adults and $10 for kids).
If you are not able to ride, or are not able to attend on September 15, you can register to ride “virtually” and make a donation to PanCan at the same web site.
PanCan is a wonderful organization that supports survivors, caregivers, researchers and more!

We hope to see you at the Purple Ride. And, thank you, thank you for your continued prayers for Annie M!!
