My Story

8 Jul 2025

Hi everyone,

I have been riding this event for many years to raise money for research in the fight against childhood cancer. This year I will ride at least 200 miles in the month of September for this cause. Please donate if you can in order to help learn more about how to treat and beat these cancers. I really like this charity because they are bare bones (basically a small group of people and a website) so the big majority of the money raised actually gets where it is supposed to.

My team Opa! (John Davis, Steve Storgion, and I) are riding with the memory of our young friend Maggie in mind. She battled cancer bravely. Please keep her and her family in your heart and let's do our best to put an end stories like Maggie's.

Thank you.

“Hi Lori, Thanks so much for supporting this ride and cause. I really appreciate it and look forward to September. I will probably ride more than I projected but I'm feeling old and hedged a little. John Davis is also riding on my little team. He's my cousin. You probably remember him from Oakwood. Thanks again and have a great day. Tom”

“Hello. I'm thinking this is my fraternity brother Andy Bostick from many many many years ago. If that is the case, thanks Dude. I thought you were in Florida but it looks like you are in NC now. Me too. Thanks a lot for donating to the ride. I really appreciate it. If this is someone else named Joseph and who goes by that, I also appreciate the donation. Also glad to have a generous new friend. Thanks to both of you! Looking forward to the ride in September. Tom”
