Love Thy Neighbor

While our normal focus is on cancer survivor support, homelessness is becoming a big problem in Charlotte right now - and there is potential for it to get a whole lot worse.  (There is currently a moratorium on evictions due to Covid, but it is scheduled to expire on January 31st.)  
 
This Friday, January 15th at 8pm, a tribute benefiting RoofAbove* will be streamed live and include over 20 bands and musicians from the region!

Please help us raise funds to help those dealing with especially tough times right now.
 
To donate to the Go Fund Me for this benefit:   Donate Here
To watch the live music this Friday at 8pm go to:  Love thy Neighbor Benefit
 
The Wind River Team
 
 *  RoofAbove is there day in and day out helping people with food and a warm place to stay.  RoofAbove is the new name for Men's Shelter of Charlotte and Urban Ministry who've recently joined forces.

BIG STEPS FOR LITTLE HEROES

And our superhero of the Month Amber Blackwood

This past weekend our eight person team walked, biked and even moved mushroom logs in support of several excellent Charlotte based organizations that support kids and their families dealing with the throws of cancer.  Together we raised almost $1,800 and came in second place for a team in this new event  24,000 Mile Challenge (click this link if you wish to make a donation).

And we are SO EXCITED TO SHARE  that our own Wind River team member Amber Blackwood walked 26.2 miles this weekend for the Little Hero Challenge!!!   This was her audacious goal to start off 2021 doing good for others.  Amber, a superhero in her own right, is an artist, retired art teacher, a 2x (or is it 3x?) ovarian survivor, Wind River Alum, and a now a MARATHON WALKER!!!

24 Foundation is the organization behind 24 Hours of Booty (pun intended!), a 24 hour cycling/walking event each summer that raises monies for the cancer community.   Wind River is a very proud beneficiary again this year of support from the supporters of 24.  THANK YOU for all you do!!!
