Welcome to my National Brain Tumor Society fundraising page! 

I am a bike lover who likes to have fun, foster community and raise some money for those who need it.

I love to ride my bike for all the same cliche reasons that bike romantics do. "The journey", "The friends", "The Good Times". Okay, we get it BUT, it's spot on. I absolutely love everything about it, even the pain and hard times.

Being an athlete and someone who enjoys healthy competition, I continually seek various rides and events that challenge me and force me to grow.

I thought that when I ride, I should ride for a cause and raise money for a non-profit to do a bit of good. Plus, it would give me a bit more motivation.

I began to think about what or who I should ride for, and then all of a sudden it clicked. 

Unfortunately, I've had family members, friends and family members of loved ones taken too early due to an aggressive form of brain tumor called Glioblastoma (GBM). With everyone's blessing, I’ve decided to ride for them and raise money for research.

National Brain Tumor Society unrelentingly invests in, mobilizes, and unites our community to discover a cure, deliver effective treatments, and advocate for patients and care partners. Your support ensures this important work will continue.

If you decide to donate, please know that all donations will go to the Nation Brain Tumor Society. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting me to put meaning behind my miles.

If there is anyone you have lost from a brain tumor, please leave their name in your comment and I will ride for them as well.

Cheers,

AJ Colaizzi
