Dear friends,
I am riding the B strong event to help fight cancer and honor my son, Will who died of brain cancer at the age of 15. Will was an incredibly kind, loving and talented kid who LOVED to ride bikes. Will blazed past me cycling up the same hills of the B Strong ride at the age of 13 making the route very special to me as I recall the pride I had in him and the joy he brought to our family, and so many others. I wish we could still ride together.
I would love you to join our team "Scouts for Will" for the ride to help raise funds, but if you cannot make it, please consider a donation, or volunteering for the B Strong event here.
Will's obituary is here in case you would like to know a bit more about him.
Thanks so much for your support!
Sincerely,
Andrew Young - riding in memory of Will Young (2008-2023)
