I will once again be riding in The Tour of the Litchfield Hills next month, challenging myself to complete the 100 mile ride through the hilly terrain of Northwestern Connecticut. This event benefits the Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, a non-profit organization associated with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital to assist those in the area living with cancer. Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps and is truly appreciated!
