Thanks for visiting my Hungry Lion Bike Tour fundraising page.
Years ago Alan Stewart asked me to ride in the Hungry Lion Bike Tour. I told him I would love to. The Stewarts have been like a second family to me my entire life and Alan's Lions club puts the money they raise to good use helping people in southern Vermont who have food insecurity. It was a no brainer!
On September 24, 2022 I will once again be riding my bicycle in the Green Mountains of Vermont and Berkshires of Massachusetts. While doing something that I enjoy immensely, I will also be helping the Deerfield Valley Lions to serve their community in a significant way.
The primary purpose of this event is to fight hunger in southern Vermont. Every December the Lions team up with the local Rotary Club to hand deliver and fill the cupboards for hundreds of people in the Deerfield Valley of Southern Vermont with nutritious food staples. In recent years HLBT has also generated enough funds to write generous checks to the local food bank as well.
Your contribution can make a difference! Thanks so much for your support. I appreciate it and so do a large number of folks in Vermont!

Each year, our local LIONS CLUB works hard to raise funds for our neighbors in need by sponsoring The Hungry Lion Bike Tour , one of Southern Vermont’s premier cycling events, typically attracting hundreds of riders, friends and family members to our region. We are able to run this professional-caliber event thanks to dedicated volunteers AND the enthusiastic contributions from participants and their sponsors! Our 2022 Event will be held in person with a Virtual Option for those not able to attend in person. We've also added an option for folks who would like to walk/hike!
