It was a pleasure to finally meet Tommaso Paxia who has helped us to coordinate and lead the Giro di Sicilia fundraisers through Sicily Cycling Club for several years (along with team leader Bill Devany) and also to see some of the beautiful area that is part of the tour. We are appreciative of all who contribute to the success of this fundraiser which is one of our biggest of the year to support the programs at Beteseb in Hawassa Ethiopia. The next tour kicks off May 11th!!
