From Fishing to Fundraising: MFCC’s Ken Holt Rides for Tommy’s Place

by Kenneth Holt

Hello MFCC community! My name is Ken Holt, and I've been a member of My Fishing Cape Cod since 2020. I approached MFCC founder Ryan Collins about sharing information regarding a fundraiser I'm involved with, and he encouraged me to go ahead. So here we go...

I'm thrilled to announce the third annual Snackroads ride benefiting Tommy's Place, and I couldn't be more excited to share this incredible cause with all of you.

Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just learning about this amazing organization, I hope you'll take a moment to discover the life-changing work happening right here on Cape Cod—and consider supporting our mission at https://www.pledgereg.com/5498/kennethholt.

What Makes Tommy's Place Special

In a world filled with division and angry voices, supporting children battling cancer is something that brings us all together. Tommy's Place provides a beacon of hope for families facing their toughest moments.

This wonderful organization offers critically ill children and their families a chance to experience the magic of Cape Cod - to make precious memories, laugh together, and temporarily forget their struggles. With vacation homes in both Falmouth and Centerville, Tommy's Place welcomes 104 families each year, referred from 11 major childhood cancer hospitals throughout New England.

These aren't just vacations - they're lifelines of joy and normalcy during the most challenging times imaginable. Your donation at https://www.pledgereg.com/5498/kennethholt helps make these precious moments possible. You can learn more about the program by watching the video below.

Join Team "A Holts" on September 27th

Mark your calendars! Saturday, September 27th marks our third ride, and Team "A Holts" is ready to pedal all 30 miles once again.

While I fell just short of my $1,000 goal last year, I'm proud to say we exceeded previous years' totals. This year, I'm starting with a conservative goal of $500, but with your help at https://www.pledgereg.com/5498/kennethholt, I'm hoping to smash that number and keep climbing higher!

Team "A Holts" is ready to ride!

Three Routes, One Mission

This year offers something for everyone:

  • 15-mile route - Perfect for families or casual riders
  • 26.2-mile option - A marathon distance challenge
  • 43-mile ride - For the serious cyclists

Remember, this is about fundraising, not racing - even e-bikes are welcome! The more riders we have, the more we can raise for these deserving families. Can't ride but want to help? Visit https://www.pledgereg.com/5498/kennethholt to donate and be part of our team!

Special Incentive for Donors

Just like last year, I'm offering a special thank-you for supporters. For every $25 donated at https://www.pledgereg.com/5498/kennethholt, your name enters a drawing to win a customized selection of flies:

  • Fly fishers: Choose from flats flies, streamers, clousers, and more
  • Spin fishers: Perfect teaser flies for your setup
  • New anglers: I'd love to take you out and teach you the ropes!

If flies aren't your thing, just let me know and I won't enter your name in the drawing.

How You Can Help

Every contribution is tax-deductible and goes directly toward providing these precious vacation experiences at no cost to families. Please visit https://www.pledgereg.com/5498/kennethholt to make your donation and learn more about Tommy's Place's incredible mission.

Whether you join the ride, make a donation, or simply spread the word, you're helping create magical moments for families who need them most. In a time when we're often focused on acquiring more "stuff," Tommy's Place reminds us what truly matters: time together, making memories, and celebrating family.

Thank you to the MFCC community for allowing us to share this worthy cause. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of children fighting cancer and their families.
