A Fillmore Firefighter has a son who needs our support. Richie, a 7 year old boy has a rare disease in which Doctors have given up on him and have labeled him as terminal. His parents have not given up and have found a new team who are hopeful and believe they can find a cure for Richie. As you can imagine testing is expensive.

Why is it always tough you ask? Because tough is easy when it is self-inflicted (my rides) versus when it is not by choice as in Richies case. > > The holiday season is upon us, we are all extremely busy in our normal lives with family, work, and other obligations, but I just ask that you give this some major consideration and come out next Saturday and suffer with the best of us!
