I have been blessed beyond all measure this year to be able to go on the American Heart Associatiion beach ride!! Unfortunately in June of 2024 I lost my grandfather to congestive heart disease. He was always supportive of me and all of my horse crazy ideas. I knew that anytime I wanted to talk to him about my day he would always be there to listen. Even though he fought a continuous battle against heart disease he fought his battle walking along side of the Lord. There is no doubt in my mind that he is currently resting in his Savior's arms. 

I want to thank the amazing Rescue that has given me this opportunity!!! I do not know where I would be without them and the horses!! I would also like to thank my supporters!! 

As November approaches, I would appreciate prayers about travels, fundraising, and the trip itself!!!

Thank you,

Sydney Bird
