Our Turn to Help Glenn Up a Steep Climb.

Greetings all,

 

Glenn and Nancy are facing very uncertain times in their lives.

In the coming days Glenn will be placed

into a memory care facility. This will put a

heavy burden on them financially.

For twenty plus years we enjoyed what

Glenn and Nancy worked so hard to

provide. Their tours were legendary. I

remember reading an article in

Bicycling Magazine that included Glenn's

French Alps tour as one of "Ten

Hardest Things to Do On a Bike"!

Many of us were repeat customers. In fact,

once I started "working" for Glenn and

Nancy, several of my groups were 100%

veteran clients. These tours were always a bargain and although many of us urged Glenn to raise prices substantially, he always refused. He enjoyed riding with his friends and that was more satisfying than making a decent profit. 

To this day, most of the people I call my

friends have some connection back not

only to cycling, but back to Erickson Cycle

Tours. Many of us can also say that they've made life-long friends all because of what Glenn and Nancy worked so hard to put

together.

And then there are all of us who perhaps

never enjoyed a tour but who were

fortunate enough to ride an Erickson

bicycle. Marci and I still have our custom

Erickson bikes and will keep them

forever.

Well folks, it's now our turn to give back.

Glenn's Parkinsons Disease symptoms

have reached the point where he

needs professional care round-the-clock.

This kind of care is expensive and will

seriously deplete their savings.

I've set a goal of $35k. I know we can do this. I just know it.

GoFundMe takes 2.9% of donations. 100%

of the rest of the money raised will be

transferred daily into an account in Nancy Erickson's name.

I'd like to ask that, at a bare minimum, you consider donating $100 for every tour you

were able to enjoy. Some of us are able to do far more than the minimum and my

hope is that you will. Every donation will

help and every donation will be much

appreciated. Let's do this!!

In addition, please share this request with anyone and everyone you think may want to help.

It's such a great cause!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
