The Ride day is november 7th, 2010
Flatwoods Park, Tampa
Riding the Cure on Wheels is a way to channel physical, mental and emotional energy into something much greater than the athletic accomplishment that is gained by riding up to 100 miles. Cure on Wheels cyclists use their strength to help those who cannot. With each mile pedaled, Cure on Wheels brings researchers closer to finding cures for various types of cancer that affect millions of people each year, and in the process helps families and children cope with a potentially debilitating diagnosis.
Cure on Wheels cyclists are a family, a unified force working toward a common goal. The personal success achieved by riding the Cure on Wheels and raising money for benefactors like Moffitt Cancer Center and All Children's Hospital is consistently described as unbeatable. We have designed the day to have riders say Cure on Wheels is the highlight of their fall. In doing so we expect that the vast majority of those who ride the Cure on Wheels will become alumni and return annually with renewed enthusiasm and deeper commitments to both the ride and the cause.
Cure on Wheels cyclists are athletes, weekend warriors, or have little previous cycling experience. Regardless of their physical condition, those who ride the Cure on Wheels go to the starting line with an emotional commitment to helping others and being part of an effort much larger than themselves. In return, they experience a powerfully inspiring weekend, make new friends, and become a part of an extended family. Cure on Wheeler's ride because they can, and to help others who cannot. |
