Welcome to my fundraising page for theThird Annual Tour De Rhody. I will be participating in the 50 KM gravel ride in Rhode Island to support the local cancer research of the Brown University Oncology Group. This will be my third year riding for this cause. I would like to invite you to contribute to my personal fundraising goal of $800.00 for this year. All proceeds go directly to supporting cancer research.
I have some backyard chickens that contributed their eggs for this cause. We raised $150.00 by selling these eggs. GOOD JOB GIRLS! A donation of any amount is appreciated (not in eggs please). Donations can be made up until September 19th.
I'm looking forward to again being part of this cycling fundraiser and supporting a worthy cause.
THANK YOU!
Dennis
Tour De Rhody #3
Tour De Rhody is a road and gravel cycling tour to support the Brown University Oncology Research Group (BrUOG). Rides range from around 15 miles to a full metric gravel century. Routes can be challenging and explore historic areas around the Scituate reservoir typically closed off to the public.
The ride supports BrUOG, which was created in 1994 to coordinate clinical cancer research for Brown’s affiliated hospitals and Alpert Medical School. BrUOG’s main mission is to improve cancer care through the implementation of innovative, multidisciplinary cancer clinical trials. BrUOG provides the infrastructure for the efficient development and implementation of these trials, which are created by Brown University faculty. Learn more about BrUOG here.
In its first year in 2019, Tour De Rhody raised over $18,000 to support cancer research and in 2020 over $50,000. With your support we can continue to grow.
Tour De Rhody began in 2019 as a road and gravel ride to support the Brown University Oncology Research Group (BrUOG) which coordinates clinical cancer research for Brown’s affiliated hospitals and Alpert Medical School faculty. In our first year we raised over $18,000 to support local cancer research and care. Despite COVID in 2020 we blew this away raising over $50,000 and we plan to grow every year. Please join us through riding, volunteering or supporting us as we bring better and innovative cancer care to Rhode Islanders and beyond.
