This will be my third consecutive ERRACE. Like pretty much everybody, I'm moved to participate because people dear to me - uncle, aunt, cousin - have gotten cancer, with variously heartbreaking, hopeful, and as yet undetermined outcomes. This year there's extra motivation: a close friend and biking buddy/inspiration was just diagnosed, and is recovering from pretty radical surgery intended to remove it all.
Previously, I posted and hoped acquaintences would pitch in; and ended up donating my goal by myself. This year, I'm not in a position to do that solo, which means I need my friends to step up. I appreciate any amount you're motivated to pledge, and I thank everyone who takes the time to read this and gives it thought.
ERRACE—Everyone Ride/Run Against Cancer Everyday, is a one-day event will held at the Avon Cancer Center on Saturday, July 8, 2017and will include a 25, 50, or 100-mile bike ride, 15 mile mountain bike ride and a 5 run/walk. The beneficiaries are the Hartford Hospital Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center of Avon, and the LiveStrong Foundation.
The ERRACE organization was created by a group of professionals with common goals. Together we strive to raise the awareness of cancer, raise funds for cancer research and to inspire the community to be active and health conscious.
We bring together our expertise from multiple aspects of business management, healthcare, community work, fund-raising and athletic endeavors. We are excited to share a fun, safe and inspiring event with the community for years to come.
We thank you for participating in our event and raising funds to ERRACE cancer forever!
