The Grateful Team

The Grateful Team takes on “Cirque du Wishes”✨💙

This night means so much to our team every single year, and getting to see so many teammates help bring it to life on the planning committee made it even more special!

Wish kid Mackenzie performed a beautiful rendition from The Greatest Showman and then received the surprise of a lifetime… a trip to Broadway in NYC to see all her favorite shows!

Nights like these are such a powerful reminder of why we do what we do!!!🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️🎉

Interested in helping us make wishes come true??⬇️

Some of the Grateful Team Boys got out and got muddy at this year.

We can also just assume they all won right???

It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of a member of our Grateful Team family to a hard fought battle with pancreatic cancer.

Three seasons ago, when TGT exploded with tons of new riders, some of them joined under peer pressure and others, like Jason, dove in head first.

Jason lived his whole life on the same values our team rides on: showing up without being asked, doing the quiet unglamorous work, leading by example, and making things an adventure instead of a chore. He taught his children to love others by showing up, a lesson we can all take something from. His presence will surely be missed on and off the road. We are grateful to have his son, Caleb, riding alongside us.

Forever in our hearts, we love you, Jason.

Happy heavenly birthday, Jeremiah. Today, you would have been 16 years old. A beloved wish kid and the cherished son of one of our incredible riders, Jason Winchell. You are forever in our hearts.

This is why we ride: to stand alongside families just like Jason’s in their brightest moments and their darkest days. ✨💙

The Teddy Bear Toss at the Grand Rapids Griffins game hit close to home for our team!!💙

Hundreds of stuffed animals were thrown onto the ice and donated back to Billy Bear Hug Foundation, a nonprofit created by TGT’s very own Charlie Wondergem in memory of his brother Billy Wondergem - a brilliant young scientist, hockey player and aspiring pediatric oncologist whose kindness and passion for helping kids inspired everyone who knew him.

This year marks 15 years since Billy’s passing, and we are so honored to stand beside Charlie and support this incredible mission. Billy’s light continues to reach hundreds of kids facing hardship one bear hug at a time.✨🧸💙

Been awhile since we've been on your feed, so we quickly wanted to let you know Wish Kid Nathan rode 72 miles on his bike the other day.

Quick note....on a mountain bike with 24in wheels

So anyways, he's quickly taken away all of the excuses to not ride next year. We will see you on the road

From bikes to ballparks. Our TGT crew took over the field after we invaded every row of the stadium to sell raffle tickets, hand out stickers to every child, and rep our gear with pride (which you can still purchase btw).

Nothing better than mixing baseball, bikes, and giving back ⚾️💙✨
