Are you ready? really ready?

Are you ready for 2025? Really ready? I know your motorcycle or car is ready and you have improved your physical fitness to match the needs of the Run. But are you really ready?
I need to evaluate the run from the perspective of mission, not what I wish to be or do. We have many volunteer leaders, whether they are Board members, Route Leaders, Platoon Leadership, Vital Team Leaders, Vital Team Members or the many other participants who give their time and sacrifice to fill many of these volunteer roles. I ask all volunteers, including myself, where is your heart?
The year 2024 and into 2025 presented challenges, near and far. Some have not agreed with proposals to date. Some have handled their disagreement with proper decorum and civility. Some have not. Future planning for the Run will start after the 2025 run.
We need to the 2025 run to be successful for the sake of our participants and the future of the Run. Are we doing all we can to this end? Have we handled ourselves with civility? We need to put mission first.
Please be understanding, empathetic, patient and continue to do what is best for the Run.
