We ride in honor of our patients because we care deeply for each one of them. Every child we meet never ceases to amaze us with their incredible courage, positivity, strength and resilience. We see many children over the course of months and years, joining them on their journey through illness and recovery. We get to know their personalities, their smiles and their fears. We get to know their families, extended families and friends. This is why for us it is personal. Please read some of the stories that have inspired us ride in the tour this year to raise money that will go into furthering innovation in treatment, enrich staff training and family support for these incredible young people.
