For decades, Tu Nidito has provided hope, healing, and support to children and families navigating some of life’s most difficult moments. Whether a child is grieving the death of someone special or a family is coping with the impact of a serious medical diagnosis, Tu Nidito offers programs that help children, teens, young adults, and caregivers feel understood, supported, and never alone.

A Powerful Way for Riders to Make Every Mile Meaningful

Over the years, thousands of cyclists have ridden in honor of Tu Nidito children and families. Our Ride for a Child (RFAC) project began in 2010, creating a powerful way for riders to make every mile meaningful. When you ride for a child, you are not just completing a course — you are carrying a message of hope and showing grieving children and families that their community stands beside them.

When you ride with Team Tu Nidito, you are riding for more than a finish line. You are riding for a child who is learning how to cope with loss. You are riding for a family searching for hope. You are riding to create brighter days for children who need compassion and support. By joining Team Tu Nidito, you can turn your passion for cycling into a meaningful impact. Every rider, every mile, and every dollar raised helps ensure children and families have access to the free grief support services they need during challenging times.

Imagine the difference we can make together. Your participation can help provide resources, programs, and a safe place for children to express their feelings, connect with others who understand their experience, and begin their journey toward healing.

Our programs are offered at no cost to families, but they are not without cost to provide. El Tour de Tucson gives us a unique opportunity to combine an incredible cycling experience with a mission that changes lives. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or participating for the first time, you can be part of something bigger than yourself.

Together, we can raise $25,000 to support grieving children, teens, young adults, and caregivers in our community. Your commitment to Ride for a Child will help ensure no child has to face grief alone.
