First and formost I want to thank everyone for their letters of encouragment and support of Anne in her time of need. She is home from the hospital, and although she still has a long road to a full recovery, she is doing remarkably well. Her husband told me that her spirits are high and despite the attack, she feels remarkably blessed.

For those of you in Orange or LA County, there will be a fund raiser for Anne and Mark at Irvine Regional Park on Saturday, January 31. The fund raiser will be a family event designed to increase community awareness of the beauty and recreational opportunities that the outdoor has to offer. Throughout the day there will be demonstrations as well as organized bike rides and hikes, a memorial mountain bike ride for Mark Reynolds, a silent auction, raffles food and entertainment and guest speakers.

All procedes will be donated too the Anne Hjelle Foundation and the Mark Mark J. Reynolds Memorial Children’s First Bike Fund.

Again, thank you.
