In 2012, Charlie's father, Mike, began to ride his bike to her grave site to spend time there on a weekly basis. Upon hearing about this, a co-worker of Charlie's mother, Kelly, invited him to take part in a bicycle ride that raised funds for the Michigan Make-A-Wish Foundation. The ride is a grueling, 300 mile ride across the state of Michigan. Luckily, Mike was able to convince his friend, Jeff, to ride with him and the Charlie's Angels Race Team was born!
​
Since that first ride, other family friends have joined the team and the team now consists of Mike, Jeff, Derrick, Matt, Matt, Justin, and John. We are excited to watch the team to grow and more importantly, raise funds to help grant wishes for children facing life threatening illnesses. Currently, the team has raised over $50,000!
