Riding for Colin – Supporting the Cancer Care Fund through the Tour of Litchfield Hills.
I’m walking in memory of my husband Colin who we lost to cancer in 2023.
Colin was more than a devoted husband and father to us – he was a passionate volunteer at The Tour, showing up every year with a smile, a helping hand, and a heart full of purpose. This year, our son Bennett and I are continuing what he started by walking and raising funds in his honor.
The Cancer Care Fund helps so many who are going through the hardest chapters of their lives. It provides financial support to patients and families in need – helping cover essentials like transportation, groceries, utilities, and education during treatment.
Here’s how you can help:
- Donate to our team – every gift makes a real impact
- Share this page – help us spread the word
- Join us at the Tour – walk with us. Or scooter ??
This is more than a fundraiser. It’s a promise to carry Colin’s legacy forward – with love, strength, and compassion.
Thank you for being part of the journey with us.
