I'm Riding For
Nicholas Conzo, Keegan Tuma, Robert Wright
This year, I’m addition to the 2 young men battling childhood cancer I am dedicating my ride to my father-in-law Nicholas (“Nick”) Conzo who stoically fought an arduous battle with clear cell carcinoma passing on August 11,2023. He was a person who worked tirelessly and was deeply principled. Nick and his wife of 60yrs Angela had three children, and shared a wonderful extended family and many lifelong friendships. While raising a family and working full time, he obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. In his early career he worked as a teacher and principal while also running his own business fixing TVs. Later, he was a founding partner in his own electrical engineering firm for over 25 years. Nick was known as a champion of the underdog and would very often pay special attention to those others may have overlooked. A fun-loving and gentle person, he was deeply adored and respected by all who had the honor of knowing him whether as a family member, friend or colleague. He was known as an incredible teacher/mentor, guiding and helping others throughout his life. A renaissance man who was truly multi-talented: electronics – music – teaching – math – history – business – finances – magic – boating – etc. A uniquely prideful yet humble man who lived for his family and always provided for them-Nick will be remembered by all as an outstanding example of how to live life. Throughout his battle he never once complained, got angry, or looked to blame. He passed with strength, dignity and courage. We celebrate his life and give thanks to him and God for his presence in our lives
My Story
This September, I am taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So I am raising funds through my challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
