Dear Prospective Firefly:

Thank you for your interest in joining the 2024 Fireflies tour. Having ridden four tours, I can tell you that participating in this tour will change your life. It has been one of the most meaningful, worthwhile and fulfilling endeavors in which I have invested my time. I hope you will feel the same way after experiencing it.

This multi-day cycling tour is a challenging group activity and by signing up, you are pledging to bring:

A healthy respect for the challenge that lies ahead
A willingness to learn the rules, skills and etiquette that will keep you and your fellow tour riders safe
A commitment to consistently train to obtain the level of fitness required to enjoy and finish each day's ride

You must eagerly show up with the right attitude; respect the tour volunteers and tour veterans who you’ll meet and ride with, and we will teach you what you need to know between now and the ride.

If you are one of the lucky few to be chosen, your primary objective will be to raise money to help find a cure for cancer. You will also have the opportunity, through challenging yourself, to show the ones you're riding for that you stand with them through the suffering they must endure. That symbolism helped me support my mom while she battled cancer during the last years of her life, and it helped me get through that time as well. It is why I ride and why I am grateful to be able to give back to the Fireflies now.

For those who suffer.

Will
