Please join me in a Tour de Tush Spoke Spin-off Series bike ride to in memory of Wayne.  Let's gather on DATE and ride

THE RIDE WILL BE HELD ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2023

Why We Ride: Add personal info here.  
It is estimated that nearly 153,000 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year.  Colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and by 2023 is projected to be the #1 cause of cancer deaths for adults under 50.

We are going the distance (in miles!) for all those affected by colorectal cancer while raising awareness and funds for research in the Tour de Tush Spokes Spin-off Series.

Together, we can make a difference!  100 percent of the funds raised from this event will go toward research efforts for colorectal cancer.

Colorectal Cancer can be preventable, treatable, and beatable. Let's work together to spread awareness and funds for research to ensure this statement rings true.

Please join our ride or donate today.
