Team Tony

You guys have not heard much from me lately but have busy cycling not just racing much. This past weekend i did a 222 mile ride over two days, exactly 111 each day. It was to benefit a young man that works for me at the bike shop that is a 7 year brain cancer survivor. The Duke brain tumor unit is responsible for his survival. We pray each day that it stays that way. 43 riders started at Ormand Beach and rode to south of Clermont though some Florida hills . Then the next day we finished in sarasota after another 111 miles. It actually felt better that i thought except my butt was sore. Wanted to let everyone know Team Headstrong is doing good things off the race course as well. Any donations to Team Tony can be sent to him c/o village bikes 3898 s. osprey av sarasota, fl 34239. Randall and Christina have met Tony and can relay how focused he is. He actually walked home from Duke last year to prove to himself he was a survivor. On the bike he has to ride a tandem because he has no peripheral vision on the left side, neat young man to be around. will keep you updated. Will forward pictures of ride when i figure out how to do it. Thanks, Ed

Good to hear from you, Ed! Tony sounds like a survivor, for sure. I'm glad you were able to ride with him and help him support his cause!
