* Level 4: Ride For A Child and make the most of your El Tour experience.
This program maximizes your contributions to Tu Nidito…
As a Ride for a Child participant you will be paired with a Tu Nidito child, receive their name and bio and ride El Tour in their honor. As you meet your own challenges while riding in El Tour, your support of
Tu Nidito will bring hope, support and comfort to this child as they deal with serious illness or grief.
You will receive free entry, a Team Tu Nidito jersey (instead of Prize Certificates), El Tour t-shirt
and poster, and all event benefits. To learn more about the Ride for a Child program, visit www.tunidito.org/rideforachild.
