A donated bike?! 😧 Thank you @thespokeshop for being so generous. @eve.katherines is riding in honor of Doug Cromwell and Dean today! Dean’s brother Doug is currently battling lung cancer. Their family is in our thoughts as we travel to Bozeman, Montana.

This year’s service has been unconventional in order to follow COVID-19 guidelines, but it has been just as rewarding. From windows to rocks, the 4Kers have enjoyed painting for service. We may not be able to be in the hospitals, but we can still leave a lasting impression.

Last Saturday at 7:30pm, 4Kers packed St. Patrick’s gym for a basketball game (Yellow vs blue). Everyone had a part between playing, coaching, cheerleading, announcing, reffing, the national anthem, and even a halftime show. The intensity and enthusiasm was unmatched. Ulman 4K will have a spot in the NCAA bracket next March. #4kok Thanks to St. Patrick’s for letting us stay in their gym! @ulmanfoundation

After two lovely days at Mary Ormond’s house, it was hard for the 4Kers to leave this morning. We were grateful to have fresh produce, endless snacks, and acres to play. However, their generosity did not stop with just food and shelter. Our hearts have been warmed and our legs motivated by the family’s story. 4Kers dedicated their day to Mary and her three girls. Thank you for sharing your house and experiences with us!

4Kers spent 4th of July crossing from Ohio to Michigan. Thanks to Kati Pope, we were able to ride and run in fashion and in memory of her son, Jeremy, a 4K alum. @nwaleja333’s family and neighbors made us feel at home for the holiday.

4Kers used some marker madness to turn our vans into a moving “why we fight” wall on Friday. Light rain washed some of the color away, but the message still stands.

4Kers left St. Mark’s this morning with warm hearts. These people went above and beyond to anticipate our needs and make us feel supported. Ulman Foundation received a proclamation from Erie County Legislator John J. Mills. The 4Kers received goodie bags and a home cooked “Buffalo style” meal. We are honored and extremely grateful!
