Tim O'Connell had never been on a road bike when he signed up for his first Best Buddies Challenge. He wasn’t chasing a time or a podium. He was riding for Pat.

Tim’s son Pat has spent his life proving people wrong — and showing his family just how much is possible when someone is given the opportunity to belong, connect and achieve something of their own.

Now, after two Challenges, some seriously tough climbs, rough weather and two unforgettable finish lines shared with Pat, Tim knows exactly what keeps him coming back:

“I ride because I want Pat — and everyone like him — to feel valued, recognized, cherished, and loved.”

That’s Tim O'Connell why. ❤️

What’s yours?
