Support Dave and Marga’s TONZ Ride for NET Cancer
Dave and Marga are cycling over 500kms across the South Island in support of kiwis who are affected by neuroendocrine (NET) cancer.
Nationwide
This will be my third ride in the Tour of New Zealand and second time riding with The Unicorn Foundation and Margarita’s first TONZ ride!
As some of you know, last time I rode with The Unicorn Foundation my wife Carmen had been diagnosed with a brain tumor which required radiation and chemo treatment almost 6 years ago. Three years ago Carmen went through surgery and was also told she needed another round of radiation and chemo therapy. Carmen decided not to have further treatment and passed away on her own terms on October 24th 2018. Although Carmen's was not a Neuroendocrine tumor, our racing for the Unicorn Foundation is my way of helping others who are battling this disease.
Margarita has also lost friends from cancer and deals almost daily at work with people fighting against this awful disease.
We are excited to have the opportunity to ride this tour and as always the TONZ is a challenge for all. This year will be the last time the Tour of New Zealand will be done and is an honor to ride one last time.
Thank you for your support and your donations which will help many fighting Neuroendocrine Cancer and the Unicorn Foundation this and their amazing work in New Zealand.
