It's that time of year and the 2023 Million Mile Challenge is upon us. The Rice family is once again teaming up with Alex's Lemonade Stand to help fight childhood cancer. The challenge hits much closer to home this year as Gabe had to endure another tumor surgery in May.  We also have several close friends with children fighting their own battles with cancer this year. The million mile challenge is super easy to join. Just link your Strava or Fitbit account! I recommend logging in once a week to the team page just to be sure your miles are syncing properly. Run, walk or cycle during the month of September to log miles. Companies from all over the world donate money towards this cause based on the miles we walk, run, and ride! You're going to do the miles anyway, let's make them count!

Your monetary donations are certainly appreciated, but not required. During this time, the Rice Family will host our own lemonade stand. Donations collected during this event will be sent DIRECTLY to the John Hopkins Pediatric Brain Tumor research lab. Alex's Lemonade stand MATCHES all of those donations, so we double our efforts to fight childhood brain tumors. There will be a link forthcoming with information about how to donate to this effort and get our donations matched. So, while you can donate directly on our team page, if you feel compelled to, let us know you're interested and we can help you double your donation!
