Thank you for visiting my page!
As you might know, the fight against sarcoidosis is a cause that is most important to our friend and fellow cyclist Hollie Fitzhenry who lost her Husband Kevin to this disease in 2018.
Sarcoidosis is a rare, often chronic inflammatory disorder that causes the formation of granulomas, or clumps of inflammatory cells. This can occur in almost any organ in the body, most commonly affecting the lungs, lymph nodes, skin and eyes. While this disease affects as many as 200,000 Americans, there is currently no known cure and treatment options are limited and often ineffective.
Team Riding 4 Kevin has chosen to support the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) by fundraising for Team KISS!
KISS stands for Kick In to Stop Sarcoidosis, and that’s what you'll be doing by supporting my page. FSR is the leading nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for this disease and improving care and treatment options for sarcoidosis patients. The funds all go directly to FSR and their programs for improving patient education, supporting patients and their caretakers, and of course, funding research to find better treatment options and one day, a cure.
On 4/28/19 our team of cyclist will be joining together for a ride in memory of our Friend Kevin Fitzhenry and to bring Awareness to stop Sarcoidosis. Your support in helping us reach our goal will be greatly appreciated. Together, we can Stop Sarcoidosis!
