Cyclists can make miles more meaningful on July 25, 2010

(Weston, MA) -   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.
