This ride (and all my rides for ALAME) is done in memory of:
George Fischer
Blanche Fischer
Cookie Delcore
and Rose Delcore
Thoughts of these people who have suffered from tobacco are what keeps me going on these challenging rides. I think of them and of all my generous supportive friends and sponsors. My commitment to all these people living or passed on is what keeps me going up every hill(admittedly on foot or by bike).
Despite the fact that I had to suspend the Canadian portion of the ride, all the riding I do this summer for ALAME will be in their memory.
