I will be back on my bike again this year to support a cause that is very close to me, the Center for Cancer Care. This year the ride is scheduled for Sunday, August 5, 2018.
This is a most important fundraiser during the year that assists the efforts of the Center for Cancer Care. It is now in its 15th year. I can proudly say that I have participated in all of them and to date have raised almost $55,000. This was only possible through your thoughtfulness and generosity. It is people like you that keep me going. Remember, no donation is too large or too small.
If you have a loved one who has cancer, has beat cancer or who has succumbed to this terrible disease, please let me know their name and I will make a special ribbon for them and keep with me during my ride. I hope you will consider making a donation of any amount to help me reach my fundraising goal! You can learn more about this great event at www.tourofthelitchfieldhills.com.
