Terry has been riding bicycles since the age of 4.  At 64, he  intends  to continue cycling until  his "spleen falls out"or "the

hair from his ears gets tangled in
​his spokes.“   About this ride, Toland says "This ride is about raising awareness of ALS and raising funds to assist those in need.  ALS is a cruel disease and has taken too many people in my sphere”
Terry decided 0ver 15-years ago that by combining his passion for cycling with
his passion for helping others, he is able to amplify the positive impact on the community.  The knowledge that every pedal stroke and wheel rotation is
moving him toward a community goal makes the inevitable pain of the journey much easier to live with.
In 2010, he decided to use his love of cycling to benefit others.  He organized a ride from Canada to Mexico and topped $10,000 in sponsorships and donations from his caring community in Vancouver, WA as well as from those he met on the road.
He and three other riders carried the message of ending hunger in Clark County down the West Coast.  In 2021 he again organized the Border to Bay benefit ride from Canada to San Francisco.  This was during COVID days and he ended up riding solo. He did  manage to raise $14,000 for a local food pantry. A pantry that was also challenged by a larger than normal client base during COVID.

This ride, Blaine to Maine, may be another solo adventure due to the extreme length of 4,200 miles, but "you never know."
