Rut & Pua's Benefit Birthday Event

On Saturday, February 19th,Pua Sawicki and I are hosting our event to benefit a local family, the Blick family. This past summer their five year old son Tyler was diagnosed with leukemia, a type of blood cancer. With six months down and around three years of treatment ahead of them, the Blick family is looking at some challenging times both emotionally and financially.

This year's ride for Tyler Blick. Our plan is to do a group costume ride followed by a benefit raffle at the CisMontane Brewery*http://www.cismontanebrewing.com/ where we will be enjoying wonderful tasting beer. I will then host the raffle and ALL the proceeds will go to the Blick family.

The theme will be a Pirate Ride!!!

So why are we doing this? One, it is simply the right thing to do. We want to give back to our cycling community. Steve Blick, Tyler's dad is in the cycling industry. Steve works at Oakley. He has given to so many causes it could make you do back flips. This is our opportunity to assist his family. I simply could not imagine being in their situation, can you? Two, the event is also celebrating the 18th anniversary of my 25th Birthday! Yeah, I'll be turning 43. Ouch! Pua will be turning 25....again.

Over the last few years we have done charity birthday events for those less fortunate. Here is a link to a year's past event

Anyway this year, the event is at Cismontane's Brewery

Followed by more Cismontane's Brewery at 5pm.
We hope you can make it.
