Hi Everybody!
It's that time of year again, as I raise money to support the care, treatment, education and prevention of cancer for residents living, working, or receiving treatment for cancer in Northwest Connecticut. By supporting my ride these funds will go to The Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, Inc., which will have a positive effect locally, in the Northwest corner, by offering our support to our friends and families living with cancer.
You are all aware of my family's history with the awful illness, as I lost my Mother at age 8 and my father passed when I was 30 years old.
This year at my wedding to my wonderful wife, Kaitlyn, we honored them as you can see in my profile picture, but it was one of the hardest days of my life, knowing that while I had all of the friends and family there who helped raised me into the man I am today, I was still missing both of my parents.
But not everyone is lucky enough to have the wonderful support system that my siblings and I had growing up, which is why Charities like The Cancer Care Fund of Litchfield Hills are so important.
Please donate!
