Thank you for visiting my Tour of the Litchfield Hills fundraising page.
This June, I'll be taking on the Tour of the Litchfield Hills — a challenging cycling event through the rolling hills of northwestern Connecticut — to raise funds for childhood cancer research.
"Cancer doesn't just touch one family. It reaches into all of ours. I'm riding for the children fighting right now, and for the loved ones we've lost along the way."
I recently lost my sister to pancreatic cancer. I've watched friends and people I love face diagnoses that no one should have to face. Cancer is relentless — but so are the researchers, doctors, and families who refuse to give up.
This ride is my way of doing something. Of turning grief into action. Every dollar raised goes directly toward research that can change outcomes for children and families everywhere.
Tour of the Litchfield Hills 2026
The Tour is a non-competitive 12, 30, 55, 75 and 100 mile bike ride through the scenic Litchfield Hills for riders of all abilities. For walkers and runners, the Tour also offers 2, 4 and 6 mile routes through downtown Torrington. This year's Tour will be held on Sunday, August 2nd.
The Tour's mission is to bring together community resources with the common goal of raising funds to support the care, treatment, education and prevention of cancer for residents living, working, or receiving treatment for cancer in Northwest Connecticut. By donating funds to The Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, Inc., we will have a positive effect locally, in the Northwest corner, as our friends and families battle the disease.
