Thank you for visiting my Tour of the Litchfield Hills fundraising page.
This year I will be attempting the 100mile Tour of Litchfield Hills route.
I have done a remembrance ride each year during August in honor of my dad Tiaan(Jaycee) Kruger. He lost his battle with cancer after a long and courageous fight in August 2019.
He was such a fitting example of how you can reach success in your personal and professional life while staying true to your values and beliefs.
My hope with your support is to raise money for people in my community suffering from cancer that is unable to afford treatment.
If I reach my goal prior to the ride(7/4/2024), then I will create a custom jersey(on my own dime) which I will wear during the ride(8/4/2024).
Anyone that donates can make a suggestion(add your suggestion as a comment when making the donation) on what I should print on the jersey. I will select the most frequent suggestion.
Thank you so much for your support.
