My Story
28 Mar 2021
This September, I am taking part again - my fifth year - in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
This year I joined Team Kahleesi. Kahleesi is a 2 year old and was diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma when she was only 9 months old. She is currently in remission.
In 2020, I was riding for a long time friend. In 2018, Pat and his family found out that cancer had entered their daily lives. Sadly, Pat passed away during September of 2020. He will be along with me again this year - in my thoughts and with my music playing loudly.
With your support over the past four years, we were able to raise over $10,000. THANK YOU!
My goal this year - raise one more dollar than 2020.
Your support will change lives.
This is not just an event - it's a movement to end childhood cancer...
Onward!
Tom

“MC, Bill and crew - thanks for your very generous donation to this cause and so happy to have you joining the list of supporters again this year. Headphones? Response: 1) Safety issue. 2) Good music is to be shared. 3) Not only does it warn others I am approaching, I get compliments on the choices - yes from the older generation. 4) I will make sure I turn it up as I go by your house on the trail. ”
