Last year, the sixty two year old retired Army National Guard Colonel raised almost $30,000 for Believe In Tomorrow, by biking 452 miles across North Carolina in seven days. This year, he is upping the ante – and is determined to raise $50,000 during Cycle North Carolina’s Fall Ride, September 26 – October 3. The ride will begin in Blowing Rock, NC and end at Surf City, NC; approximately 470 miles. A.J. has been instrumental in the development of the Believe In Tomorrow House at Pinnacle Falls, the foundation’s second respite property that prioritizes military families with critically ill children. The house is slated to be open and ready to serve the men, women and families who honor us with their service to our country later this fall. Pledges are being matched by longtime BIT supporter, Bill Amick.
