Richard and Jeannette McGrath
would like to extend a very special thank you to all of our supporters.
We’d like to thank our parents and family for believing in us, encouraging us, and remaining patient from the lack of grandchildren (so far) due to our adventurous lifestyle and big goals. Richard would like to thank his mother for generously volunteering to watch the house, the cat, send our food, and drive the trailer across the country. Jeannette thanks her mother for always encouraging her to follow her dreams, even her wild ones!
We honor all the precious souls who have helped us along the way. So many friends, aquantances, and anonymous people have fed us when we were hungry, housed us when we were homeless, cared for us when we were lost in life, helped us limp through the maturing process, and especially encouraged us to hang on to our dreams and not ever give up! It is those folks who helped us hold on when life was hard, and in honor of them, we want to dedicate our lives to “paying it forward” into the lives of others.
We also give heartfelt thanks to those who were first to take a risk and support and sponsor this ride, as well as those who made it possible for us to continue with their timely donations. This is not a lone ride by two people, but a community effort around the country of those who dare and who care. We could not have done this on our own.
Above all, we thank Jesus for his saving grace, provision, and guidance on this adventure and life dream to help others. It is our desire that this ride across country and Hearts Up Ranch glorify Him, for it is to Him that we owe everything.
