Thank you for visiting my Tour of the Litchfield Hills fundraising page. I am biking for all the lives I touched working in oncology for over 20 years.  I am awed at the courage and resilence of those who go through this journey.  I remember my early days how terrible the treatments were to now where folks are kicking cancer's ass! I had always hoped to lose my job because cancer was cured. That did not happen so I ride for those whom I miss and those who I helped along their journey.  Ilearned so much about how life is to be lived!

I appreciate any monetary contribute small or large to support this wonderful cause!

Ride on!

The Tour is a non-competitive 12, 30, 55, 75 and 100 mile bike ride through the scenic Litchfield Hills for riders of all abilities. 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 7th.

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.
