My personal message:

Welcome to My Fundraising Page!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Reid Sacco became my best friend when I moved to Lynnfield in the 7th grade. He and I formed a friendship that quickly became a unique brotherhood. On April 16, 2005 Reid's life was cut short as he lost a 2 year battle with Sarcoma. Reid was truly a once in a lifetime friend who continues to be an inspiration to all who know of his story.

As a tribute to Reid, every July, myself and hundreds of other riders who may or may not have known Reid participate in a 28 mile bike-a-thon; we do this to help raise money which will go directly to cancer research with the hopes of one day finding a cure that will eliminate cancer in young adults. This task cannot be completed without your help. So I turn to  you, my friends and family to ask for your support by sponsoring me in this years Ride. No donation is too large nor too small.

This year is a very special year for the Reid Sacco Foundation as it mark's the 5th Anniversary of the event. It's going to be bigger than ever as the foundation has grown to become a great institution within the community.

If you have any questions in regards to the event, please feel free to email me: wrecky2@gmail.com. I also strongly encourage you to visit the foundation's website at www.reidsaccofoundation.org where you can learn more about Reid and the goals that drive this foundation to continue to be so successful.

Also, if you're interested in participating in the event yourself as a Rider or Virtual Rider in another region, visit www.reidsride.org to register. Lastly, please forward this page to anyone you may know who would like to sponsor me as a rider!

 

Many thanks.

Mike Marra
