| Raising Money for Cancer Research | Tue Mar 31 16:21:34 2015 MST |
| Hi all, haven't been around much lately, but I just wanted to tell
you all about a fundraiser I'm involved in.
Pelotonia is a grassroots bike event that raises money for various
forms of cancer research at the James Cancer Center at Ohio State
University. During the first six years of the event, it has raised
over $82 million. Last year, my team raised just over $23,000 with
17 riders. This year, we're up to 40 riders and hope to raise
$40,000!
I'll personally be riding 180 miles in the event, and my goal is to
raise at least $1,000. Every penny of every donation goes directly
to research. I've personally had the opportunity to speak to the
director of the James and several other researches whose funds come
Pelotonia and could not be more excited about the strides some of
them are making in cancer treatment and early detection.
If you're interested in donating, you can visit my page at:
pelotonia.org/bglorioso. Any amount is greatly appreciated. And feel
free to share the link if you happen to be a part of other groups
who may be interested.
Thanks a lot, it's been a pleasure seeing you all around over the
last ~14 years.
