Bike Ride in memory of John
Still in the planning stages, but I plan to do some type of ride in John’s memory. Right now, it’s looking like we’ll do it with help from Miles for Melanoma of DE and proceeds will benefit the Melanoma Research Foundation. I’m also hoping to find a bike club &/or bike store to assist with the endeavor. We’re tentatively estimating a date in May or June at this point. As an avid cyclist, I know John would love us doing a bike ride to remember him! If you’re interested in planning, helping, or riding, please let me know.
