Thank you for visiting my Tour of the Litchfield Hills fundraising page.
The Tour is an annual event to raise funds for The Cancer Care Fund of The Litchfield Hills. I was introduced to the ride by a cancer survivor: our friend Jim Rindos. Jimmy has been gone for nearly 8 years but all of us remember his enthusiasm about taking part in two things: running the bar at Festival of Trees and riding the Tour of The Litchfield Hills!
After a year of lockdown The Tour is back. Come ride this Sunday! Please pass this on to any colleagues I've missed. Thanks for your support of The Tour and its mission.

The Tour is a non-competitive 12, 30, 50, 75 and 100 mile bike ride through the scenic Litchfield Hills for riders of all ability levels. For walkers and runners, the Tour also offers 2, 4 and 6 mile routes through downtown Torrington. This year's Tour will be held on Sunday, August 1st.
The Tour's mission is to bring together community resources with the common goal of raising funds to support the care, treatment, education and prevention of cancer for residents living, working, or receiving treatment for cancer in Northwest Connecticut. By donating funds to The Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, Inc., we will have a positive effect locally, in the Northwest corner, as our friends and families battle the disease.
