Our team is participating in an extraordinary journey!

We are Team Collin. We started as a group of cycling enthusiasts from around the country who ‘met’ through an online cycling forum called “the Lounge”; on occasion a few forum members would meet to ride together and socialize. The seeds of Team Collin were planted in 2008 when Collin Marsh, the 7-month old son of one of our forum members, was diagnosed with an aggressive type of leukemia. Collin’s family would keep the forum updated as his difficult treatment progressed while ‘Loungers’ offered prayers and support of various kinds. Every little improvement in Collin’s condition was celebrated by hundreds of people all over country as his courageous battle became a focal point for so many who were themselves cancer patients/survivors, or who had lost loved ones to cancer.

In the spring of 2010, just after his 2nd birthday, Collin lost his battle and passed on in the arms of his loving family.  The members of the Lounge collectively mourned his loss, and his death became an event that acted as the catalyst to finalize the formation of Team Collin; Lounge members from seven different states came to Atlanta later that year to participate in 24 Hours of Booty in honor of Collin. As the team’s namesake, his memory and his courage are celebrated when Team Collin gathers every year to support fund-raising to support cancer research, treatment and education.

2013 is the 4th year that Team Collin proudly honors his memory by coming together at a 24 Hours of Booty event. Collin’s bravery and tenacity inspire us to continue to do what we can to support the cause we believe in so strongly.
