An Air Force veteran, a husband, brother, uncle, mentor to many, and a survivor in every sense of the word, Tony Lee has spent a lifetime defying the odds. Seven heart bypasses. Three strokes. Prostate cancer. And today, he faces congestive heart failure. On April 1, 2026, he will begin the 4,000 mile Catrike ride.
He will pedal:
• To show his extended families that anything is possible at any age.
• To honor America’s 250th birthday.
• To raise awareness and support Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
This ride is his way of giving back, of celebrating the country he served, and of proving that courage doesn’t retire. This ride is his declaration: “I am still here. I am still capable. And I still believe in the goodness of this country.”
To make this mission possible, we are raising funds through GoFundMe. Your contribution will help cover:
• Maintenance and outfitting his recumbent Catrike
• Safety equipment and visibility gear
• Travel logistics
• Lodging and food during the multi month journey
• Communication tools to document and share the ride
• Outreach to raise awareness for Tunnel to Towers
This is more than a fundraiser. More than a bike ride. More than a personal challenge. This is a legacy. A message that resilience is a choice. A tribute to the nation he loves. And it is a reminder to all of us that the human spirit, when fueled by purpose, can outpace even the toughest obstacles.
Help an 84 year old veteran show the world what determination looks like. Because sometimes the most powerful journeys begin when everyone else thinks you’ve already reached the finish line.
