  NO WORD MORE CLEARLY DEFINES THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE RECOVERY RACE PROJECT
• Through INSPIRATION, hopefully more and more people facing a serious illness can RECOVER.
• With greater public awareness and increased funding of research, more and more people will RECOVER.
• FACT.-Since its inception in 1987, the RECOVERY RACE PROJECT has raised almost $200,000-most of which has been earmarked DIRECTLY toward specific cancer research!
• FACT.-The RECOVERY RACE PROJECT, specifically in the form of the race boats pictured here, carries a message of INSPIRATION wherever we race. I was stricken with cancer in 1979. My RECOVERY was aided by the INSPIRATION I received from a friend who visited me in the hospital. He himself had recovered from cancer several years earlier. The RECOVERY RACE BOAT is a loud, visible, almost living symbol of the very same message I received from my friend. It is, in effect, a "140 mph hospital visit!"
• INSPIRATION, coupled with EDUCATION, is a vital part of the future of our country.
• FACT:Since 1992, the RECOVERY RACE PROJECT has fully funded three scholarships at local colleges, including The Alvin Hayim/Sam Walton Fund added in the summer of 1994. All of these scholarships have gone to underprivileged students seeking their "break!"
• INSPIRATION is ... an unending and ever increasing COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE!
  The challenges of competition on the race course are no different than the challenges of life and the ever-increasing pressures that confront each of us as we grow older. To work harder and harder-to see and feel the fruits of one's labors, is no different on land or sea, at work or on the race course, or in any one of life's challenging endeavors.
• It is my personal belief that success in any one endeavor is a wonderful indicator of the odds of continued success in all others!
