[CTSARA] Bennett Cancer Center Ride -- Thank You All!!!

[Jon Perelstein]

I want to thank all the people who volunteered for the Bennett Cancer
Center Hope-In-Motion bike ride event today.  We had 18 hams covering net
control, three rest stops, two SAG vehicles, two mechanics vehicles, and
two “scout/chase” cars to keep track of the riders.  We provided aid to
seventeen different riders who needed mechanical assistance and/or
transport back to Stamford.  In addition, two of our people were first on
the scene when a rider collapsed and used our CERT training to provide
assistance until the ambulance arrived.  We also provided assistance to
another rider who took a particularly nasty fall and was eventually
discovered to have a fractured rib.

Our people tracked the location of the riders and a contingent stayed until
the last rider on the course was safely back in Stamford, even after pretty
much the entire rest of the event was packed up and gone.

Thank you to:

This was another great turnout by members of the club and was another
professional quality job by SARA members.
