Editor,
On behalf of the board of directors of Bolt for the Heart, our generous sponsors and nearly 3,000 Bolt participants, we say THANK YOU for making this year’s Bolt for the Heart Thanksgiving family race our best yet.
Seeing family traditions continued or started, having the participation of our Indiana State Troopers in handing out finishers medals, and avoiding the snow and rain made the morning even more rewarding.
We are so humbled by the support of our community for not only supporting an event that is healthy for themselves, but also helps contribute to the Bolt cause of placing lifesaving AED’s in the hands of our first responders. In all, we will be placing 160 AED’s in the Indiana State Troopers’ patrol cars this year. This total combined with last year’s 55 is roughly half of the entire state fleet. We can’t thank all of you enough.
We’d also like to acknowledge our relationship with Current Publishing. Your generosity and support in assisting us goes beyond words. We could not have accomplished this year’s results without your help. Understand, our Indiana State Police, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Dept. and the Carmel Police Dept. embrace and are equipped with these lifesaving devices. These will save someone’s life. We look forward to continuing the tradition in 2017.
Pierre M. Twer
President – Bolt for the Heart
