Dear Family and Friends,

On Friday, September 17, 2021, I will be embarking on a 100k (62 mile) fundraising bike ride to benefit pediatric brain tumor research. We will ride from St. Barnabas Parish on the South Side of Chicago to Long Beach, Indiana.  For many, this will be the longest ride they have ever attempted.

The ride honors the life Pat McNamara my nephew, the son of Tom and Dee McNamara, the organizers of Pat's Pedaling Pack. At the age of 2, Pat  was diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor. During his short life, Pat endured more than 15 brain surgeries, multiple rounds of chemotherapy, and countless radiation treatments. Through it all, Pat never lost his winning spirit, humor, and love for family ,friends, the Cubs, and food. He was an inspiration to all who knew him..Pat  died at 13 from the ravagers of the disease, but he is still inspiring us to help other kids and families that are afflicted  by this disease.

Pat Mac’s Pack is a 501 (c)(3) charitable foundation established to raise funds for pediatric brain tumor research. The organization also provides funds and services directly to young cancer patients and their families. In addition, the foundation works to raise awareness about this devastating disease.

I hope you will consider sponsoring me with a donation of any amount. Your support would be greatly appreciated. 

God Bless,

Brian Fergus
