Event Description
For the past 26 years, the Kiwanis Club of North Shore Long Island has conducted the Nassau to Suffolk Bicycle Challenge on Long Island now renamed as the Nassau Bicycle Challenge. The event was begun by Tom DeStio, whose son was born prematurely and with multiple health issues. He was taken care of in the Critical Care Unit of the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center (KPTC) in Cohen Children’s Medical Center, now located in New Hyde Park. When Tom joined Kiwanis, he realized that it was the perfect venue for facilitating his “giving back”. He and his family have been involved ever since.
