Hi friends,
On August 8, 2026, I will be participating in the Celestial Seasonings B Strong ride in Boulder, CO. This is a fundraising ride benefiting the Boulder Community Health Center for Integrative Care. The ride itself is a "celebration of survivorship, community, and hope - bringing together riders, caregivers, families, and supportes to honor those in cancer treatment..." Like many, cancer has impacted my life through the loss of family members and friends. The cancer community thrives on the financial and emotional support of those impacted big and small. Please join me by donating to this great cause.
I will be doing the 68-mile "Morning Thunder Mountain Loop" with 5,000 feet of climbing. I should probably start training soon...
Thank you for your generous support.
Pam Patterson
