Kick Cancer’s Butt – Great Cycle Challenge

Thursday, September 1 to Friday, September 30

Party Diges’s IT guy, Chuck Gregory, is riding for the third year in a row in The Great Cycle Challenge, a fantastic fundraising event benefitting the Children’s Cancer Research Center. His goals are 300 miles and $500 in donations. Help him to meet or exceed those targets!

Chuck’s riding year has been challenging. In February, he was hit by a car when riding his electric trike, and it took months for him to be able to ride again. Fortunately, he did get an insurance settlement for the trike itself, which almost covered the replacement. More recently, he was investing in a folding bicycle to go with his trike, but he had some trouble keeping the wheels on the road and his head in the air instead of the other way round. The bike was great but just not right for him, so it’s back with Carvelle Bikes (https://www.carvellebikes.com/) to be sold on consignment…

So, the rest of his ride this year will be on the trike. Be aware that he still has to pedal, hard, even though it’s an electric trike.

Any contribution you make for the Great Cycle Challenge will be appreciated, not only by Chuck and Party Digest, but most importantly by the kids who are having to deal with this terrible disease.

Photos are from various trips Chuck’s taken this year as part of the challenge.

Coming Soon – Great Cycle Challenge

Thursday, September 1 to Friday, September 30

ONE MONTH. ONE GOAL. FIGHT KIDS’ CANCER.
This September, we’re riding to end childhood cancer and save little lives.

Every hill we climb and every mile we pedal will be to honor those lives we’ve lost and stand with those brave kids still fighting to survive. These kids won’t give up, and neither will we.

Our goal is to fund life-saving research to develop safer and more effective treatments, and find cures for all childhood cancers.

Because kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it.

Party Digest’s Chuck Gregory will be riding for the third year in a row. Stay tuned for updates on fundraising and riding goals.

World Sea Turtle Day

Thursday, June 16

World Sea Turtle Day, June 16th, is a day used to honor and highlight the importance of sea turtles. These creatures, like any other creature, are magnificent in their own way. Not only are sea turtles beautiful animals, but they also show incredible perseverance and resiliency – after all, they have been nesting on beaches for millions of years. So of course they deserve their own day dedicated to their awesomeness!

World Sea Turtle Day would not be rightfully celebrated without mentioning, Dr. Archie Carr, Sea Turtle Conservancy’s founder and “father of sea turtle biology.” World Sea Turtle Day is celebrated the same day as Dr. Carr’s birthday, June 16th. Dr. Carr will forever be remembered for the enhancement of the sea turtle conservation movement and the legacy he has left behind. His research and advocacy brought attention to the threatening conditions that continue to impact sea turtles today. His work highlighted the issues and helped create the community that continues to strive for a better life and future for sea turtles around the globe.
