Another good turn out in Philadelphia today where some of Thomas’ family and friends participated in the Annual Lemon Run put on by the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in support of the fight against childhood cancer.

The sun was shining and Peloton 65 supporters were united in Standing Tall and Walking Strong in memory of Thomas today.

Thanks for your support, everyone.

Global TV’s coverage of the event

Team Peloton 65 wanted to extend a huge thanks to all of our participants and sponsors who helped to make our 2nd Annual Walk for Thomas another success.

It was COLD today in Calgary. And in spite of this, we still drew nearly 250 walkers, and welcomed 60 + eager volunteers.

Team Peloton 65 continues to be blown away by the continued support and encouragement shown by our followers.

Together we raised awareness and funds for the fight against neuroblastoma. And we remembered a very special little boy missed by many.

We look forward to sharing amazing footage captured by our crew of photographers and videographers- stay tuned for updates.

Finally, we’d like to extend another heartfelt thanks to the generous donations from our sponsors:

Queen Elizabeth School

Master Meats

Premium Sausage (Seven Persons, AB)

Dairy Lane

Higher Ground Cafe

Semmens, Forbes & Wood Real Estate

Six Cent Press

Thanks again to everyone who walked with us in Calgary, or who walked wherever your Sunday might have taken you (except those of our supporters in Maui…that’s just cruel to us in the deep freeze!)

The Peloton 65 team wanted to share the news that all funds raised by the Peloton 65 efforts in the fight against neuroblastoma will be put directly and exclusively towards a project being co-led by Dr. Paul Beaudry at the University of Calgary and Dr. David Kaplan at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.

The Phage Display Project, a partnership between the labs of Dr. Beaudry and Dr. Kaplan, will be using an innovative approach to identify and kill neuroblastoma cells while sparing normal cells in children.

Paul is himself an active rider on the Peloton 65 team, and we are glad to see all of the funds the team raises going to this important project he is directly impacting.

Save the Date!

The 2^nd Annual Walk for Thomas will be on Sunday, October 28, 2012.

To remember Thomas and to raise awareness and funds for Neuroblastoma, we invite you to join us again for this important event.

We look forward to the following day:

10:00am: Depart for the Walk in the neighbourhood of West Hillhurst

11:00am: BBQ lunch back at the school grounds

We will be accepting donations and will again have Peloton 65 merchandise available for purchase.

This is a welcoming family and community event, and we hope to see you all again this year- please bring the sunshine!

Thanks very much,

-Team Peloton 65
