American Cancer Society: Bicycles Battling Cancer

Join the American Cancer Society’s 2nd Annual Bicycles Battling Cancer
Cyclists can make miles more meaningful on July 25, 2010

Local cyclists are invited to make their miles more meaningful by participating in the Society’s second annual Bicycles Battling Cancer event on Sunday, July 25. The 75-mile ride takes beginner and veteran cyclists alike through scenic back roads from Worcester to Boston. The event allows participants the opportunity to get fit, have fun, and make a difference, all while reducing their cancer risk.
Riders can participate individually or as a team. There is a $50 registration fee and a $500 minimum fundraising goal to participate. Teams of five or more commit to a $400 fundraising minimum per rider. New this year, there is a 25-mile option beginning in Holliston and a youth ride (15 miles) beginning in Dover for children ages 10 – 16 accompanied by an adult registered participant. Registration fee and minimum fundraising goals apply.

Funds raised through Bicycles Battling Cancer support the Society’s critical mission to save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. The American Cancer Society helps people stay well, by preventing cancer or detecting it early; get well, by being in their corner through every step of their cancer experience; by finding cures, through groundbreaking research and treatment discoveries; and by fight backing, through influencing public policy.
