I'm Finally Going to Do It!!!!!!

Pelotonia is a big deal!!  

If you live in Columbus you know all about it!!  For my friends that don't, Pelotonia was established with the objective to fund innovative cancer research.  It's a three-day experience that includes a weekend of cycling, entertainment, and volunteerism. Through its first twelve rides, Pelotonia raised more than $217 million for cancer research!!

For several years now I have been a supporter of Pelotonia - but always from the sidelines.  I have participated in fundraisers, purchased Pelotonia gear, donated financially to my awesome friends that have been riders, and cheered on riders on ride days from the front of the South High Buckeye Donuts!!

Last year was tough and the actual Pelotonia ride didn't happen as usual.  In true Pelotonia fashion, they adapted to the obstacles due to the COVID-19 pandemic, allowed participants to set their own goals, and over 11,000 participants still managed to raise more than $10.5 million for cancer research.

Well the year of 2021 will be different!!  Pelotonia officially announced that the Ride will happen this year and I joined a team with some of my phamily - Bible's Bicycle Brigade!!

Here soon I will begin my training and will be doing the 20 mile ride on Saturday August 7th!!  Please visit my personal Pelotonia page and donate if you can!!

  3. You never cease to amaze me. I feel it's important to support innovative cancer research because without such research you probably wouldn't be as healthy as you are today. With lots of love and hope!!!!
