My name is Thomas Feickert, and I'm a junior at Western Kentucky University from Georgetown, Kentucky. I'm studying Business Finance with a concentration in Personal Financial Planning, and I plan to become a financial planner after graduation. I'm serving as Treasurer and Secretary for Bike4Alz Team 15. At WKU I'm also the Brotherhood Co-Chair of Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI).
I first heard about Bike4Alz when I joined FIJI. Older brothers who had made the ride shared their experiences, and I knew right away that it was something I needed to do, especially after my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's just before I left for college in 2023.
Riding for him, and for every family facing this disease, means a lot to me. With your support, we can make a real difference in the fight against Alzheimer's. I'm excited to ride across the country with Team 15, connect with others who have been affected, and help raise money for research toward a cure.
