In true Gary fashion we’ve increased the challenge to 76, as Gary would be turning 76 this year. We are also honoring the memory of Jonathan A Erickson with this years Inky Lunta as Gary and Jonathan were close friends and often were together for a run or a bike ride or a xc ski. Inky (Gary) had a way of calling forth the best in everyone who came under his spell: “Let’s do this—it’ll be fun!”

The Gogebic Range Health Foundation is proud to be hosting this fundraiser with proceeds of the event benefitting the Jonathon A Erickson Fund for mental health projects throughout the Gogebic Range.  If you would like to make a donation to the Jonathon A Erickson Fund,  please make checks out to the Gogebic Range Health Foundation and send to E 6112 Bluffview Rd.
