As a team we have been involved with the Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut        fundraising rides for ten years, As a team we were the leaders and forefathers in                creating and marshaling the cycling event in West Haven CT. and we have participated in the yearly walks and runs. Within the years, we have participated and have managed to maintain top five status.   

This year (2023), C4C Team Alex came in third place with $4,787.00 (May 20, 2023)            and Ed Barros (name used for Captain Alex) as leading fundraiser for the event with            $2,7872.00 (May 20, 2023).  The Barros Family and the entire C4C Team want to                thank all of our supporters and donors for the continued support, without The Walkers, Cyclists, Donors and Team Sponsors non of this would be possible.  As a Team we intend    to grow this even again in the near future, (covid placed a toll on all & set us back ), we thank you all in advance for future support.

2023-04-27 C4C TNT RAIN DAY MIX

2023 04 23 Ion Bank Cheshire Half Marathon

Ben and Betsy knocked out a Half Marathon in rainy day downpours this morning. It was great fun to watch each other train for the event for the last several months. Betsy and Ben provided me with advice, commentary and most of all MOTIVATION. This slacker Ed couldn't get to this event this morning, but these two have given me the motivation to have run 3 solo Half marathons thus far this year.

Ben and Betsy are spectacular motivators. They were out there rain or shine to complete what they set out to do. Not only 

did they complete the run.....Betsy placed for her age group!!!

We were blessed to witness Alex's 16th Birthday today. Alex was happy and energetic. Today we completed an assisted walk toward the corner stop sign, two visits to the stationary bike and a lot of kidz bop music in the background.  The medicinal and the diet juggle and struggle continue as we remain faithful that some day we will find that magical concoction that will heal all.
