WE DID IT!!!!

"We made through another MS150.  We had great weather, great food and great times.  I can’t say enough good things about the volunteers.  They really did an outstanding job in Houston, LaGrange and in Austin.  Thank you so much!  This team counts on the services of volunteers throughout the year, everything from, jersey design, safety, newsletters, training series, and logistics.  This event couldn’t happen without the cheerful support from our volunteers.  We had over 50 individuals volunteer throughout the year, thank you so much!"

- Mark Poindexter, Captain Team Shell
