Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you for your generous support of the inaugural Snackroads bike ride to benefit Tommy’s Place.   With your help we were able to donate $15,625.  Our goal for 2024 is to double that amount. We are hard at work recruiting riders, sponsors and volunteers and I am very pleased to tell you we have 3 new sponsors this year. Craigville Beach Inn, SignWorks, and Gable Building as well as returning sponsors, Theo Plumbing, mTuituve, Coastal Medical, Mid Cape Oral Surgeons and Crisp. The second annual bike ride will be held Saturday September 28, 2024.

Tommy’s Place provides year-round magical vacations for families with children battling cancer.  One family at a time, along with their extended family and friends, visits one of Tommy’s Place’s two 10+ bedroom homes for one week.  A free of charge, dream vacation to relax, make memories and, most importantly, have fun. https://tommysplace.org

Tommy’s Place in Centerville is just a few doors from my home and it has been a wonderful experience to support a truly local organization. I am so grateful that the Barnstable / Cape Cod community has embraced this project.

I hope some day there is no need for a Tommy’s Place, that no child will be faced with a cancer diagnosis, but until that time we will keep riding our bikes and asking for your support. Thank you in advance for your continued generosity.

Donations can be mailed to: Snackroads, P.O. Box 581, Centerville, MA 02632. Or online at my fundraising page: https://www.pledgereg.com/5134/traceymckeen

Snackroads ride to benefit Tommy's Place is a great event that will raise money to support Tommy's Place in Centerville, MA.

"Tommy's Place" is a dream vacation home for kids fighting cancer.  The home is a place to relax, make memories and most importantly have fun!  To ensure privacy, one family at a time stays in the home for up to a week - free of charge. The 11 bedroom house has enough space for the immediate family, extended family as well as any friends and caregivers that are all part of the family support system. For these children and their families, one of the most important aspects of dealing with cancer is having a supportive community.  “It takes a village” is especially true when dealing with childhood cancer.  "Tommy's Place" is an HGTV Dream Home/Disney like experience with individually designed and decorated rooms, inground swimming pool, game room, boardgame room, home theatre, tavern, music and arts and crafts rooms and so much more on the inside.  

The bike ride is a 27 mile loop through 3 of Barnstables most beautiful villages.  Centerville, Osterville and Hyannisport.
