My Story

14 Sep 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.

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”
