Hello Friends and Family,
In 2026, I’ll be participating in the New England Classic Charity Bike Tour to help raise funds for the American Diabetes Association and its incredible summer camp for kids living with diabetes, Camp Carefree.
This event is more than just a bike ride. It directly supports children who are learning how to live full, confident lives while managing diabetes, surrounded by peers who understand exactly what they’re going through.
The Ride
I am currently signed up for the two-day, 150-mile ride. My initial fundraising goal is $600. If I am able to raise $1,500, I will commit to upgrading to the four-day, 350-plus-mile ride.
The New England Classic Charity Bike Tour is a multi-day fundraising cycling event with both two-day and four-day options, and every mile ridden helps support life-changing programs for kids and families affected by diabetes.
If you are able, please consider donating to this amazing cause. Any amount makes a difference and helps give these kids the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe and supportive environment.
Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and generosity. It truly means more than you know.
