This Sunday I'm joining the guys from Team Sixcycle-RK&O for The Tour of the Litchfield Hills to benefit the Center for Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills. The fund was created to assist and support cancer patients residing or receiving care in northwest Connecticut. This has been an important cause for the team going back a few years, and I'm excited to lend my support.
I hope you will consider a donation to support this worthy cause. If you'd like to join us for the ride, we'd love to have you along.
