Edward I. Moses Walk/Run/Bike for Life 2004

April 25, 2004

Thank you to all participants, donors, supporters, sponsors, committee members and friends of the E I Moses Walk/Run/Bike for Life for your

role in making the 2004 event the best ever. Nearly 350 people combined efforts in raising over $60,000. As a result of this effort $63,162 has been distributed in the battle to cure, screen for and assist in helping St. Lawrence County residents deal with the disease of cancer in 2004. The positive response from Gouverneur area residents following the death of Ryan Saidel and the continuing effort of participants from throughout the county resulted in an increase of over $10,000 raised in the 26th annual event. Since the inception of the E I Moses Walk/Run for Life over $550,000 has now been raised to assist County residents in the fight against cancer. We thank you,

Saidel Trophy, Gouverneur Central with $12,865 was the recipient, Team Terri received the Richard E Winter Award as the top group with $5997, Charles Saidel received the Nicholas Mackey award as the top individual fund raiser with $5615 collected and ten people raised over $1000.
