We want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and the very happiest of holidays. If you are in the path of all this weather, please do not let our efforts this year go to waste...stay prepared, stay alert and stay safe.

We want to thank all of you that supported us this year and we are looking forward to what looks to be an AMAZING new year.

As you spend some time with your families this next week, stay tuned to our Twitter and keep us in your prayers.

Time's runnin out!


Aside from transmission work now needed on one vehicle and the alternator going out on another, it was a pretty good day! The Iowa Library Tour for next year appears to be needing more dates as response is better than hoped for, so we'll be spending some serious time in the fields of dreams.
Colorado is a state we have not spent much time in, and now, with bookings filling up- in Colorado we are excited about the prospect of making new friends to the west!
Other tours coming together nicely include Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois and Nebraska! Wow, what a busy year ahead!
If you have been THINKING about booking an event, you need to at least email us soon. Tour dates and open slots have filled VERY quickly this week and it is possible that you miss your chance if you wait much longer!

Tragic Loss-Henderson, TN


As we tour, we make friends and those friends quickly become family. This Monday was to be the day that we touched base with our new friends and family in Tennessee to arrange for a return tour. It is tonight that we are truly saddened to find that one of the towns we grew to love has suffered a horrible, tragic loss.
Captain Dennis Cagle, a police officer in Henderson, Tennessee (Chester County) was shot on Thursday and passed away this morning. Alannah and I were shocked to hear of the loss and are truly saddened. Our prayers and thoughts are with the folks in Chester County as they deal with this horrible loss during what should be such a joyous season.

Magnum Boots

At the end of year, Chasing4Life trucks and equipment get new graphics, new looks and new equipment. With each new sponsor, our strength is renewed as we know that another company, another organization, another individual has chosen to see value in our effort. With massive goals ahead of us as a team, it is heartening to know that we have so many supporters behind us.
Today we want to thank Magnum Boots for joining the Chasing4Life team of sponsors.

For over 20 years, Magnum, a division of Hi-Tec Sports USA, Inc., has been the leader in offering unsurpassed comfort, technology, and value in uniform footwear used by law enforcement, military, fire/rescue, and emergency medical agencies around the world. These boots are distributed in over 70 countries!

Over the course of the last several years, the team has been in some pretty serious circumstances and the one piece of equipment that always fails is our boots. An old friend told me you don't always have to leg to stand on as long as you have good boots. Its true. While most people look for footwear with a fashion-sense, our world is a bit different. From tornado aftermath to hurricane recovery, from search & rescue to emergency response, from wildfires to floods to blizzards, we needed the right footwear that could hold up to Chasing4Life standards and needs.

We got 'em.

Watch for Magnum Boots and Hi-Tec Sports to appear on our home page within the week and check out their incredible line of products. We're gonna put these boots to the test, believe me.

WEBSITE MIGRATION


In order to account for a failed website and email migration, we will be moving the Chasing4Life websites to a new server sometime this week. We do not want to lose touch with you. During this migration, you may experience difficulties in emailing our offices and staff or you may receive an error message when accessing our website. We are truly sorry for this inconvenience. This will not be a long-term situation, we promise. Please check back here for an update, or contact us by emailing c4lbackup@gmail.com

This migration is being made due to instability in both our emailing system and our websites caused by a migration attempted by our hosting company APlus.net
Our staff has spent countless hours over the last three days dealing with poor customer care, poor technical support, and a lack of response from their legal department. If you have received emails that were not intended for you from a chasing4life address, we apologize. The company has failed to address the problems being experienced by many of their customers and we fell victim to this poor follow-up.

In order to protect yourself from cyber-disasters, make sure you back up your systems, research companies you trust with proprietary information, and stay informed as to that compan's changes in policies, activities, partnerships and mergers. You could save yourself in the long run.

PLEASE NOTE: The problems we experienced were not the result of any activity on the part of QGraphX or MyTedWebs. These are both reputable companies that we have worked with for years and we wholeheartedly endorse them both. This was all due to activities by APlus.net

A SPECIAL THANKS TO QUINCY AT WWW.QGRAPHX.COM FOR HIS QUICK RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEMS WE ENCOUNTERED AND THE PRIORITY PLACED ON EMERGENCY BACK-UPS, REPLACEMENT HOSTING AND RECOVERY OF DATA.
