I am raising money for Love Live Local, an organization that is dear to my heart and is vital to the health and well-being of Cape Cod's local economy and sense of place.
I've been involved one way or the other with Love Live Local since its founding and couldn't be prouder of how the organization has been a champion for local businesses on Cape Cod, including my own.
This bike ride is very special to me because cycling is something I used to do with my recently departed father. I'll be thinking of him all throughout the race.
