NCH Trails To Treatments Mission Statement
NCH Trails To Treatments Mission Statement
Our mission is to assist those in need of funding during their treatment of cancer. We believe most people are not fully prepared for the out of pocket expenses cancer treatment requires. Our volunteers are dedicated to the long term success of this grant program through ongoing donations and fund raising efforts.

NCH Trails To Treatments
NCH Trails To Treatments is a grant program administered by the North Country Horsemen Saddle Club, a non-profit organization based out of Middle River, Minnesota. Feedback from sponsors, riders and communities inspired us to establish this grant program which will offer financial assistance to patients currently receiving cancer treatments. Initially the individual grants awarded were $200, but were quickly increased to $300, $400, $500 and then $600 as of January 2016. A big thank you to all organizations and individuals in the community who have enabled us to increase and continue providing grants due to their donations.

How The M&R Triple T Ranch & NCHSC Cancer Benefit & Ride Got Started
In the past, with a lot of help from his family and friends, Mardy Anderson hosted benefits at his family ranch for friends suffering from difficult illnesses. Then in 2007 he and his family attended the Cowboy Up Cancer Ride in Mcleod, ND. On the way home from this event, they started discussing that maybe their next benefit should be for cancer and include a trail ride. Mardy decided to approach the area saddle club that they were members of, about helping. The saddle club was very receptive to the idea and thus a committee was formed to plan the 1st Annual M&R Triple T Ranch and North Country Horsemen Saddle Club Cancer Benefit & Ride in 2008.
