Last Sunday a bunch of local mountain bikers joined a new team known as Team Nigel, which was created by a few local Big Bear moms to help out Nigel Holland’s family. You see Nigel recently had brain surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. Nigel is only 7 years old. His surgery and his follow-up treatments are very expensive, so the moms have done some fund raising efforts, which included a bike ride for Nigel.
It was no surprise to see a nice group show up even though we did not have much time to promote the event. Our little mountain community really comes together when it’s about the kids, and I was proud of all the riders that came out to show their best wishes for the Holland family.
The ride wasn’t a huge fundraiser with tons of money coming in, but I know there was a lot of love shown for Nigel and we all hope he feels us pulling for him for a speedy recovery. Thanks to all that joined Team Nigel!
Spreading the love, rev

Sorry I missed the ride…It was great to hear how much fun everyone had…But even better than that was to hear how great the kids felt after the ride…its such a wonderful thing to be able to give from the heart and thats exactly what everyone did that day for Nigel.
Can’t wait for the next ride on Sunday, November 9th. Meeting place for the ride will be at the Snow Summit parking lot.
Hope to see everyone there…..
