Tour De Kale Annual 5K and Cycling Event

10/24/2022

Hello everybody. It's been a long time, hope you all are doing well. Kale Watkins has just been informed about the family of Neil Boyd. In case you don't remember Neil organized our crit races for us and around the timers for the TDK for several years. Neil was always good to us he did the crit races for free and whenever we switch to a different company he still brought a team of riders to support the TDK. He's a good guy so I'm trying to pass this info along. His wife was going to head on collision and she's going to be okay from that but when they were doing tests in the hospital they found she had stage 3 ovarian cancer. She's undergoing treatments very soon and we thought it would be nice if we could support his family. If you'd like to donate a gift card or something that would be wonderful. If you just want to send a card or any information I will attach the address below. Also if you want, I can accept PayPal venmo or cash app. All the information is listed below. If you have any questions please let me know. Stay safe and keep in touch,
Kale

Please mail cards or gift cards to Melissa Skeen 1555 Jarrett Farm Rd Newton NC 28658

Due to the Kungflu, Denton restaurants will be closed indefinitely except for delivery or takeout or curb service. Rick's, Troutman's, and The Village have been good sponsors for us over the years. So in this time of need, please patronize these businesses if you can. Thank you and Godspeed to you all
