Facebook 2-Day Giveaway Winners Are Ready to Raft!
Last summer Wilderness Aware Rafting ran a contest to giveaway a Free 2-Day Arkansas River rafting adventure to the group that posted the best story as to why they should win. Sara Kranz and her friends won the trip after posting a fantastic and touching story about friendship and adventure. Now the group is gearing up for their trip and wanted to catch up everyone on their plans. From: Sara Kranz, ie “the Instigator” Hermosa Beach, CA The countdown is on! July 6th and 7th, 2012, our group of “home grown friends” will be embarking on an adventure of a lifetime! Unfortunately, Andrea will not be with us in person due to an unexpected turn of life events (damn those life events :), however she will be near and dear to us in spirit.Watch for upcoming blogs, as we have a “surprise” for her to see… lol! The trickery does not end just because you are not there to defend yourself! As for who is taking Andrea’s place, we have Tracy McGoldrick flying in from Texas. Tracy is a dear friend of mine, and we go way back; we both lived in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin at the same time, and Tracy is married to one of my husbands’ best friends from college (did you get that? No worries, as this is only 1 of a million intertwining events that have occurred in our lives.) Tracy is an outdoor enthusiast, but has never been white-water rafting. She will fill you in more during her “blog post”. As for me, I cannot wait to hit the wild rapids with my closest friends in tow, laughing till it hurts (it usually hurts badly!) Sharing life stories, reminiscing about the past, discussing the present, and laughing about the future is what we do best! I am up for anything, quite honestly, so pictures beware, you never know what you may see! Hopefully Wilderness Aware can “handle” our group of crazy women, as we are more than ready to make memories that we will never forget! THANK YOU, Wilderness Aware, for making this happen! From: Kim Linz The trip is so close I can hardly believe it. It is pretty chilly today in Southern California, so it is hard to believe I will be rafting in the sun (hopefully) with my favorite girls in 6 short weeks. From our application you know I am a cancer survivor. What you may not know is that I still live with cancer and take chemo daily. Despite this I am an avid hiker, runner, and biker. I do not let my illness slow me down. After a scare this fall and surgery that had me believing I might not be able to make this trip, I am recovered and more ready than ever! I am an elementary school principal. I still have 4 weeks of school left before I leave for this exciting trip and work is keeping me crazy. I put the countdown for summer up in my office window today and have the countdown for this trip on my mirror at home. My students and their families know that I am leaving soon after summer starts for this trip and I am getting a lot of advice! I have never been white water rafting, but love the water. Everyone tells me this will be the trip of a life time! I am sad Andrea won’t be joining us, but am excited to have Tracy jump on board. I think we have a great group that will laugh the entire time. I hope you are ready for us because I can’t wait! See you in July! From: Tracy McGoldrick Cheers! As you may have read, I am the newest recruit for the July rafting ‘extravaganza’! Or shall we re-name it: Rafting-palooza? I say this because there will be not only wild waters but wild times over these few days together. A bit of background: As Sara noted, we met because our husbands were college roommates. The interesting part is that I have not met the other 2 gals- and this truly echo’s my current mantra and journey in life. At 42 years of age, I had never moved out of my zip code (except 3 years away at college). My husband and I had been aching for a change (weather related mostly) and we took a risk as a family (three young kids) and moved cross country to McKinney, Texas one year ago! I have never looked back. I find the new friendships, business connections (oh, did I note that I started my own business venture 6 months ago?), and everyday newness refreshing ~ just plain ole’ good-for-my-soul. So, with this new adventure put at my feet (thank you, Sara), I say namaste and bring it on! My mantra: I believe life is about enjoying and believing what you do…whether that be family or professional.
Thank You Wilderness Aware Rafting!
“WHAT? WHAT? YOU ARE KIDDING, RIGHT? OH MY GOSH, SARA, WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW?!?!?!? THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!” ~Sara Kranz, Fantastic Facebook 2-Day Giveaway Winner Enlarge the font by a thousand, bold it, put about a million exclamation marks next to each sentence, and then turn your volume up to high. THAT is how we all sounded when we heard the news that we won the Colorado white water rafting trip! I, Sara, put our names in for the rafting trip without telling my girlfriends about it (ok, I finally let on a short time later…they were stoked, but realized that we were up against so many other worthy groups!) That is not atypical for us, actually. We enjoy pushing each other to “new extremes” and getting each other out of our “comfort zones.” When I found out that we did win (realize I have never won anything in my life), I was beside myself! The reactions from my friends? They were beyond excited! Here is “our history in short form:” Andrea, Stefanie (Suds, Sudsy, Stef), Kim (Kimmers) and I have been lifelong friends. Andrea and I met when I was 2 years old, she 3 years old. Suds, Kimmers and we became friends in high school. Though Kimmers and we lost touch for a time when she left for CA, we reconnected a few years ago and it seems as though time stood still for those years that lapsed. Though we live across the states, we still see each other as often as possible and we get together as a group at least once a year. The last time was to do a half-marathon on Santa Catalina Island off of CA (another “out of the box” moment for most of us!) I’m sure that we had more fun than anyone else there!!! This Colorado rafting trip is a milestone of sorts for us. First off, we are all turning 40 years old in the next year or two. But most importantly, Andrea and Kimmers are cancer survivors. Kimmers had an extremely rare form of cancer and it’s a medical miracle that she is here with us today. This is her 10 year of being cancer free. Andrea as well is a cancer survivor and the very day that I called her to tell her that I put our name in for the trip is the day that she found out that she as well is 5 years cancer free. We feel blessed to have each other in our lives, and therefore, when we are together, there is nothing but laughs, jokes, some serious conversation, but really just a lot of amazing, fun times! THANK YOU, Wilderness Aware, for adding to our memories!
