About Timmy Belcher:

This event was born out of a dream from Timmy Belcher. Timmy had battled cancer for many years and experienced the love and generosity of our community, who supported our family every step of his cancer journey. Timmy lost his battle with cancer in 2011, just months after the first Ride & Run.
