We hope you will join us on Sunday morning, June 13 for the The WPLR Bike Ride for the Tommy Fund at Bazzuto's in Cheshire, CT from 10 AM to 4 PM.

The Tommy Fund is an independent not for profit organization whose mission is to provide emotional, educational, recreational and medical support to children with cancer and their families. Since its inception, the Tommy Fund has donated over $3.5 million for pediatric oncology programs and services at Yale-New Haven Childrens Hospital.

Childhood cancer

One in every 330 children in the United States develops cancer before the age of 19. The pediatric oncology staff at the Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital (YNHCH) treats more children with cancer than any other facility in the state. YNHCH sees about 60 new cases of childhood cancer yearly and follows approximately 250 patients from diagnosis, through treatment and to helping children re-enter the mainstream after treatment.
