Thank you for visiting my Tour of the Litchfield Hills fundraising page. I try to ride every year but I have always been reluctant to ask for donations because I know everyone has demands on their funds and I don't like putting anyone on the spot. This year I decided that I've known too many people that had to fight cancer and so I am going to put this out there for your consideration. As I said, I have known too many people who faced cancer and it is a daunting disease to face. I am choosing to ride in honor of a good friend who recently received the distressing news that he has pancreatic cancer. If you are so inclined I would appreciate any amount you would feel comfortable contributing, to support the efforts right here in Torrington to provide care and hope and support for those dealing with any form of cancer.

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.
