Eric Strand, LT100 Charity Slot Racer

"When you cross the finish line at Leadville, Merilee greets you with a hug, a medal and a 'welcome home'.  It’s that last part, the 'welcome home' that always puts a lump in my throat.  Every damn time.  The support and friendship from our Leadville 100 family . . . Ken, Merilee, the runners, the crews, the volunteers . . . has enriched our lives more than we could ever repay.  Our support of the Leadville Trail Legacy 100 Foundation and the great work they do for the kids and families in the Leadville community is one small way for us to give back.  Looking forward to another “welcome home” in August 2018!"
