ACS Bike-a-thon was HOT but amazing!
It was an extremely HOT day, but the thrill of riding over the Ben Franklin Bridge along with 4000 other riders was amazing. Thanks to all of you that rode and/or donated money to this great cause.
On Sunday, July 10, 2011, rain or shine, the American Cancer Society will host its 39th Annual Bike-a-thon. Since its beginning, Bike-a-thon has raised over $20 million for the American Cancer Society’s research, education, advocacy, and patient service programs. The Bike-a-thon is a 66.2 mile ride from the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia to Buena Vista Camping Park in Buena, NJ. In a special tribute, cancer survivors will lead riders over the Ben Franklin Bridge beginning the ride to save lives. Last year, 250 cancer survivors took part in Bike-a-thon. The Bike-a-thon is the single largest biking event for the American Cancer Society. An anticipated 4,500 riders will participate in this year’s ride.
