All of us who know and love Bill understand that it is his greatest wish to get back to cycling, both in the studio as a cycling instructor, as well as our ride leader in the great outdoors. We can’t wait for that day to come. We miss his endless stream of corny jokes, as well as the fastest flat tire changes known to man. Cycling, indoors or out, has not been the same without him!
Although he has been unable to work due to his condition, Bill is also a skilled craftsman who has helped many people realize their visions of a new kitchen, a finished basement, or a beautiful deck. His handiwork is admired by all, and his work ethic and business integrity rewarded him with many satisfied customers. He also loves to travel and before he became so weak, we were fortunate to travel to France to see two stages of the Tour de France! Bill also spent a month in the U.K. visiting his daughter Amanda during her semester of study abroad. Bill is a member of Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia, and his faith and trust in God have been instrumental in helping him through this journey.
Heart transplants are challenging, complex and costly. Recovery is grueling and lengthy – several weeks in the hospital – and more at home beyond that. Even with insurance, Bill will have many uninsured transplant-related expenses such as: co-pays and deductibles, doctor visits, and the costly immunosuppressant medications that he will need to take for the rest of his life. The situation presents Bill with a financial challenge that he cannot meet alone.
We have chosen to fundraise with HelpHOPELive in part because HelpHOPELive assures fiscal accountability of funds raised and tax deductibility for donors. Donors can be sure that funds donated will be used only to pay or reimburse medically-related expenses.

While Bill is dealing with this unfortunate disease, he has been blessed by the incredible support of a wonderful network of friends, family and community. We want to say “thank you” for being part of our lives and for keeping him (and us) in your thoughts and prayers.
With love and friendship,
Kathy Lynch, Bill’s fiancé
It's April 17th 2016 and 10 months since my heart transplant. Happy National Donate Life month! Just got home from the Gift of Life "Donor Dash" that started at the Philadelphia Museum of Art! I walked the 3K with Kathy and Zach in honor of my donor and his family. If you are not an organ donor yet, please take the 60 seconds to register. Peoples lives depend on it! Had my donor not registered, I wouldn't be doing this today. "You have just one life to live, but eight lives to give!" (TM)
Bill received the Gift of Life, his new heart, on Wednesday, June 17th! He's recovering beautifully at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) and sends everyone his love and thanks for all of the support he has received throughout this journey. The heart that Bill received is strong and steady and we are extremely grateful for the second chance that a brave and generous donor has provided to him. Please send your prayers or good thoughts to that person and that person's family, as well as to Bill as he begins his recovery.
We can't thank everyone enough for the overwhelming support. "SPIN FOR SOLOWAY" was a complete success!!!!! We will update the campaign album soon so all those who are not Facebook users can enjoy the great moments that were captured that evening. Please know we are deeply touched as we read through these lovely and inspiring messages and view the list of those who have generously donated. Some of you folks haven't even met Bill yet! But fear not, we will have more opportunities to come together and enjoy each other's company. Not everyone bikes, but everyone eats, right?! Just a little clue...Until then, remember, wake up every day grateful for the good health you have.

Bill, great picture of you riding in matching blue on the left side of my screen. This picture should be on the cover of some cycle magazine. Our goal is to help you get back all the way so that your next picture on a bike is even better than this one. Please know that our prayers are constantly with you. Sincerely,
Jeff & Ellen
