Pelotonia 2013: Why I’m Riding

PEL13-100

I have decided to be a leader in the community by participating in Pelotonia. Saturday August 11. I will be riding 100 miles form Columbus Ohio to Gambier Ohio to raise money to end cancer on behalf of all those who have fought and suffered.

Pelotonia is a grassroots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. In 2012, Pelotonia was one of the largest cycling events in the country in terms of participation with 6,212 Riders coming from 42 states and 3 countries. Additionally, Pelotonia had 3,144 Virtual Riders and 2,103 registered Volunteers. Pelotonia 12 raised $16.9 million, bringing Pelotonia’s 4-year total to $42.2 million for cancer research.

The Pelotonia 13 experience will occur on August 9-11, 2013. Because operational expenses are covered by Pelotonia funding partners, 100% of every dollar raised is donated directly to life-saving cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute. I am writing to ask you to help me raise funds for this incredible event. Large or small, every donation makes a difference.

We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. One of every two American men and one of every three American women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. By supporting Pelotonia, and me, you will help improve lives through innovative research with the ultimate goal of winning the war against cancer. I would love to have your support, as this is truly a unique opportunity to be a part of something special.

Think of this as a donation not to me, or Pelotonia, but directly to The OSUCCC-James to fund cancer research. Please consider supporting my effort and this great cause. My Rider profile can be found at the following link: http://www.mypelotonia.org/riders_profile.jsp?MemberID=192406
