On June 15th, I will be pedaling my way through the pioneer valley to raise money for Bikes Fight Cancer. 100% of all rider raised funds will support valuable cancer care services to patients, families and caregivers as well as funding hospitals focused on advancing cancer research.

For 17 years I road the Prouty in connection with Dartmouth Hitchcock Cancer Center (and probably asked you to support it) I'm so glad to be able to support Cancer Care and Research closer to home. 
This Ride's Maximum distance is not 100 miles as at Dartmouth but rather 50 miles which I plan to ride. I hope you don't hold it against me, and still give generously.

Cancer is a scourge that has taken so many of those we love.

Thank you for your generous support!
Love

Marty
