I am blessed that I have the ability to Climb to Conquer Cancer, a fundraising bike ride on 9/23/18 that features two competitive climbs up iconic Libby Hill in Richmond, Virginia. Libby Hill, made famous during the 2015 UCI Road World (Cycling) Championships, is curvy and made of cobblestones. Not everyone can climb the hill. I climbed it twice in 2015 at night...in the rain...with paranoia about slipping! In 2017, the C3 event was on a gorgeous, dry morning and the climbs were easier. What will happen in 2018?
Why am I joining the festivities? Because funds raised during this event will support cancer patients and fund life-saving cancer research taking place at Massey Cancer Center at VCU, right here in Richmond.
The award ceremony, featuring red polka dot jerseys awarded to the "King of the Mountain" and "Queen of the Mountain" winners by young cancer patients, is the highlight of the event and a touching view of how participants' dollars are making a real difference. This event is put on by Amy's Army of Cancer Warriors, dedicated to fighting cancer.
