This year I am no less dedicated to Team Joe! As you know my brother has fought his battle with Leukemia- and even through Covid- kicked its butt! In support I have dedicated all of the fees for my yoga classes this year to both Dana Farber and The Tour that goes to support cancer care in my hometown area of NW CT. So I'm doing yoga and walking this year, but still fundraising! You know why? Because these are important causes, because I hate that freakin ride, and in the words of my wise niece, YOU CANT BE GOOD AT EVERYTHING!! Please consider a donation to Team Joe!

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.
