"Team Andy"
In honor of my late husband, Andy Fingado, who passed away from esophageal cancer in May 2024, I will be raising funds for YMCA Cape Cod in the Second Summer Cycle Ride. Andy was an avid cyclist who raised funds for the YMCA for the inaugural ride in 2023 while going through chemo treatments for his cancer. Although the event was cancelled due to a predicted storm, he still rode 65 plus miles that day.
As employees of YMCA Cape Cod, we were able to see first hand all of the wonderful programs the money goes to help for our community. One of those programs is the Livestrong at the YMCA program for cancer survivors. I am honored to be one of the instructors working with this program. I am hoping to raise $500 for the Y to support these programs. Please donate if you can or join Team Andy and ride with me.
