This year we will hit the $3 million mark in total funds raised for cancer research. Join our team and be a part of reaching this significant milestone! All are welcome; we have Riders of all ages and experiences; our team hails from all over Ohio and many other states. We have team jerseys, t-shirts, team events, and training rides. Our mission is to celebrate the life of Stefanie, carry on her legacy of hope, and to raise as much money as we can to find a cure for ALL cancers. Stefanie left us a message to ‘Continue to Fight and Continue to Live’. Take a moment and watch Stefanie’s tribute video: Continue To Fight!
