MEET YOUR 2025 VANWILD TRAIL RUN GUIDES
We have some amazing volunteers this year who have offered to help us guide some incredible trail runs through the beautiful San Juan mountains and surrounding areas here in Southwest Colorado for our Fourth annual VanWILD. These amazing individuals have all been out to our event in the past and have a TON of experience in the back country as well as behind the wheel off road. You will be in excellent hands no matter which kind of adventure you choose for the weekend but rest assured it will be a damn good time.

HEAD OF BAD DECISIONS
That's right, you're stuck with me. Again. Hey, the good news is at least I know the area and chances are, if you're in my group there is a high probability parts will get broken, vans will get scratched and/or dented and good times will absolutely be had. Also, when things break I happen to know a guy with a shop that can fix them. Convenient, right??
BREAST CANCER BENEFIT RAFFLE
BREAST CANCER AND MEGAN WILFORD
Many of you may not know the story of why we are focusing on breast cancer this year and not our usual Wounded Warrior Project and C4 Foundation as we have in the past so please, let me give you the backstory.
If you have called Adrenaline in the last year or so chances are you've spoken with Megan. She manages every aspect of the front office, finances, scheduling, payroll, HR and so, so much more. She's been an absolutely invaluable asset to the Adrenaline team and has been instrumental in helping us achieve the mission every single day. To put it in a couple of words she is an absolute rockstar. Earlier this year though Megan's life changed instantly. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and within a matter of a couple of weeks began a very aggressive treatment plan on her road to recovery. To say it has been a tough year for he so far would be a gross understatement. She's continued to come to work when she can through all of this, never complaining, and always doing her best to put on a smile in spite of what she's going through.
Having shared Megan's story with several of our industry partners that have contributed to our Veteran benefit raffle we decided that this year we wanted to make a change and give the proceeds of the raffle to Megan and her family. Cancer is a hard enough battle all on it's own, not to mention the endless medical expenses, travel costs for treatment and the countless other financial stressors that come with a battle like hers. So to help offset some of the burden we decided to give back to her and hopefully in some way help alleviate some of ...the weight she and her family are carrying right now. Megan has given so much of herself to this team and our community—we feel it’s only right that we rally behind her with the same strength and support she’s shown us.
