A group of Prince William residents and family members of Jim Breslin are raising funds for ‘The Ride to Conquer Cancer’.
The bike-riding fundraiser, which benefits John Hopkins University’s Cancer Center, will be a more than 150-mile ride on September 19 and 20.
Tim Breslin’s brother – Jim Breslin – was the inspiration for him to ride, because Jim Breslin passed away in March 2014 from esophageal cancer. This will be Breslin’s second year participating in the cancer fundraiser.
“One of my sisters saw the ad for ‘The Ride to Conquer Cancer’ [in 2014] which benefits John Hopkin’s Cancer Center, and my brother was being treated there. So she thought it would be a great thing to do – and neither of us were bike riders – but we signed up to do that,” said Breslin.
According to Breslin, his brother was a Nokesville resident, a retired responder from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue, and a bus route manager for special needs children for Prince William County Public Schools.
Breslin said that his brother a selfless man who always put the needs of others before himself.
Breslin’s team was able to raise $38,000 last year for the event, and hope to continue to raise funds for this year’s ride.
This year, Breslin will captain the team, which includes Jim’s son, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and former colleagues from Fairfax County fire and rescue.
