Brown said, "I want those participating in this event to never give up hope, and for Christians to truly believe that Christ is a healer. If He does not remove the thorn from your side, that does not make Him less of a healer.  He is using you to further his goals and demonstrate to others how He can impact your life."

At the conclusion of the program, there was a basketball competition between the White Rolling Bears and the Blue Rolling Bears Wheelchair Teams. The game concluded with a tie between the two teams.
