Ben, Bob and Jason, Congratulations to the three of you for stepping out to make a difference in these boys lives and their families. You are impacting so many people by your willingness to spend your time and energies toward the success of this endeavor. You are loved and respected by your families and friends! Rachelle A. Bachran
I am on the support team for Jason, Bob, and Ben and we are looking forward to "hitting the road" on Wednesday. The guys have worked hard getting ready an making preparations for juggling shows along the way.
You are in our prayers and thoughts everyday and we look forward to seeing you soon to celebrate.
Check out this site to see photos of the adventures along the way.
Hi Guys, Wish David and I could be there to see you off Wed. You don't know how much this means to us. I cry every time I think of all the effort you have put into this. Thank you. We'll be here in Ann Arbor cheering you on! With much respect, admiration and appreciation, Joan Gockenbach
100 Miles for THREE big smiles.... I was thinking that God, also, must be smiling to see three guys use their unique talents in such a powerfully unique way; and to see the community come together behind the two stricken boys, and this effort to help. I think this is what God meant when He said to Love each other. It has inspired me, and I think many others. And yes, I think God is smiling too. -Bob E
Guys, I just wanted show support for this awesome event you undertaking. I was made aware of this event through a mutual friend, who gave Bob one of my son's "Refuse to Lose" bracelets (my son is also battling leukemia). As we have been battling this disease for nearly a year now, I know how important it is for your two young men and their families to receive support from friends, family and community. I just wanted to let you know that what you guys are doing is awesome and you have no idea how much impact this trip will have on David and Dustin, as well as their family, friends and community! I wish we could come see you in person, but since that is not possible we look forward to seeing pictures and video from your trip. Good Luck!You guys are an inspiration!

Great job, guys!! Good luck on your trip, we are cheering you on. This is a wonderful way to show your support to David and Dustin, I know they are smiling just thinking of your adventure this week. You are an inspiration to us all to GET INVOLVED!!!

Hi guys, I just wanted to say how proud we are of all of you. We brag you up wherever we go. Just one thing: we know you are trained professionals and in great shape and all that; just don't make it look tooo easy. Giving thanks, Rob's mom
Bob, I have been proud of you many times in your life but I am so very proud of what you are doing this week. I read a quote from one of the Olympic athletes. A reporter asked if qualifying to compete at the Olympics was the hardest thing they ever did. The athlete replied "No, the hardest thing I ever did was learn to juggle and ride a unicycle at the same time." You three make it look so easy! Congratulations on making a huge impact on two familes and for inspiring so many of us! Our prayers are with you for a safe journey!
hey fellas... i know you're doing great on the road. keep it up, and know that you have brought together our two communities in a way no one has before, for an incredible cause. i'm praying for you guys, and i'll see you in marquette!
Guys, The pictures are great. I wish I could be there. This is really an incredible adventure! Good luck on the last few miles. Thanks for letting God use you in His plan.
Guys, thank you so much for doing this for these two families. I met one of the boy's moms at a mother's group a while back. it's inspiring to see what teamwork, effort, and creativity can accomplish. I wish all of you (and your behind-the-scenes team too) the very best in whatever your next endeavors turn out to be.
Two Boys: David Gockenbach, and Dustin Burkman are fighting Leukemia. David Lives in Houghton, Michigan, and Dustin lives in Marquette. Read more and find out how you can help.

This morning Bob took my wrist band from Mason's fund raiser we did last year online to wear on this trip.
These 3 gentlemen are what's RIGHT with the world.
