Dear @stevevandoren and everyone at Vans who we owe an endless amount of thanks to, for graciously hosting us with another unforgettable 31 Days of Vans wrap-up celebration. Our friends and family still can’t get over the experience that they had, and they all feel like they are part of an actual Vans Family, and that’s exactly what this is about. Our people. Just like the late great Paul Van Doren believed. We come from all over, and we represent every demographic and age group you can think of, and it’s the most beautiful thing to see, and speaks volumes about Vans. I strive to always be like SVD; authentic, inclusive, and loving. Your energy and drive is unmatched! We love you Steve. Thank you and your crew again and again!Now some words for our people. I’m having a hard time putting together the perfect words, but I genuinely love you all. I do know that I’m blessed beyond measure, and I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for supporting me. I’m trying to get better at including more of you, but of course it’s not easy.To my family and close friends, I lean on you for strength, support, and to keep me grounded. You’re my peace. Loyalty is everything to me, and my people are MY people forever. I stand on that. I LOVE YOU. -Bill
