A Message From Clay-Never Give Up

Our team is to honor and remember our hero and favorite cowboy Clay Chance LeBlanc. Clay loved horses and his dream was to rodeo. Almost every weekend we were sitting in the stands watching our cowboy follow his dreams. He rode saddle bronc and was sitting in second place in state in the CRA. No matter if he placed or not, got bucked off or not, HE NEVER GAVE UP AND ALWAYS FOLLOWED HIS DREAMS!!! In July of 2019 our cowboy gained his wings to a tragic rodeo accident. With this being the most difficult loss our family has had it gives us joy to know his organs saved three individuals lives. We walk for Clay and all the heros!!!!
