Tad-
Hope you are feeling better. This will truly be an experience of a lifetime that you will never forget. Three days of running around all night preparing everything for the race on a “FUEL energy drink diet” looks like it has caught up with you :) We are all cheering for you and prying that you get your health back! We all know that you can do it!
P.S. I hope the picture at the bottom of this blog, is of you with a cold towel on your face and not somebody’s white boxers… The picture is a little fuzzy but that would be a bad prank to play on someone sleeping :)

Tad,
I am so incredibly proud of you for taking on this challenge. I can't even imagine how hard it is . . . but I know that you are doing a great job. Don't beat yourself up about getting sick. It happens to us all, usually at the worst of times. You aren't letting your team down . . . let Dustin take care of you. Drink lots of fluids. Take it easy and you'll be up and riding again in no time. I love you. Auston says "Hi, Unc Tad" and Avery blew you some kisses. : ) Tell Dustin that we love him too!!!

Copied below...
Tad, you are amazing. I know you're sick and you need to take care of yourself so you can get back on and help your team. I know you'll push through it, but you need to step back so you can finish the race and what you've worked so hard for. I love you so much and am so proud of you!! We are all thinking of you here and praying for your safety. We are finishing up the invitations today and then will go get the puppies later..they miss you, so here's some hugs and kisses from Roxy and TC! xoxoxoxoxo
