Welcome all bikers of every level!!

Thank you all Participants and Volunteers!

Although wind and pouring rain pelted the pavement continuously during this year's event, the bikers who ventured out pedaled through the puddles to their destinations. With rain gear and determination, and of course - brown mud stripes up their backs, they helped to donate a total of 700$ this year!

Total Tour so far you helped raise: $2750!

Please check in again in March 2010 for the next Tour Date!!!

 Lieb Chiropractic will host the Fourth .....       Annual Tour de Dutchess Bicycle Fest Sunday, TBA  2010, to raise funds for the Tourette Syndrome Association of Greater New York State.

 I am a TEAM TSA member and chiropractor in Pawling, NY, diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 11. I have experienced the trials of life having this neurological disorder.  Now I strive to help people in every way to the best of my ability in practice and want to apply this energy toward finding a cure for TS. The Annual Tour de Dutchess Bicycle Fest comprises fun choices of various bike routes through scenic woods and back country settings of historic Dutchess County, culminating with good food and a live band.  I am excited to organize such an event and take the challenge of putting my efforts toward finding a cure.

 But I need your help!

You can help by participating on Sunday, September 27, 2009 or sending your donation.  This will help the Greater NYS Chapter provide programs and services for people diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. It will help educate teachers about students with TS, develop quality awareness materials to educate the community and fund a worldwide cutting edge research program to identify the cause and find a cure for TS.

Tourette Syndrome is an inherited neurobiological disorder afflicting more than 200,000 people worldwide and millions more who exhibit associated behaviors. Symptoms can include uncontrollable physical body tics such as eye blinking, shoulder shrugging, head motions, vocal tics, and coexisting disorders of the brain like OCD and ADHD.

You can make a difference! . . . please join me in supporting a very important cause. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Dr. Robert Lieb
