Tour de Foliage Raises $180,000 for Rare Disease Foundation

The Rye Brook Newman family is thrilled with the bike tour's success this year.

The 9th Annual Tour de Foliage was "hugely successful," and raised about $180,000 said Rye Brook's Lisa Newman, a board member of the Dysautonomia Foundation, the beneficiary of the event. Newman's daughter Rebecca is diagnosed with familial dysautonomia, and the whole family is always touched by their friends and neighbors who support them by participating in the Tour de Foliage.
