Hello friends and family,

It’s that time again—Tour de Frederick is right around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited to hop back in the saddle for a cause that means so much to me!

First, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me in 2023. Because of your generosity, I not only met my goal—I crushed it! I took a break from riding last year, but I’m back this year with even more heart... and a new riding buddy! Wes will be joining me on the route this time, and we’re both looking forward to the ride (and the cause) together.

This fundraiser allows me to combine two of my passions: cycling and serving our community. Tour de Frederick benefits two incredible local organizations: the Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County and the Rotary Club of Carroll Creek. Together, they create real impact in the lives of young people and families right here in Frederick.

This year’s ride takes place on Saturday, June 7th, but we’ll be completing our ride earlier so I can volunteer on the day of the event—because being part of the magic behind the scenes is just as meaningful.

If you’re able to give, any donation—big or small—makes a difference. Your support lifts up this community and fuels the mission of these incredible organizations. You can donate directly through my fundraising page. Knowing you’re cheering us on means the world to us.

And if you’d like to be part of the fun, we’d love to have you ride or volunteer alongside us—just let me know!

With gratitude,
Michelle
