Riding their bikes to the Ride for the Roses
Twenty-three bicyclists whose lives have been touched by cancer will set off from Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday (10/19/08) to ride the 1,500 miles to Austin by Thursday.
The cyclists are on five teams that will ride relay-style with the help of 16 support personnel. Together, the members of the Challenge to Conquer Cancer have raised $160,000 for cancer research.
Once they get to Austin, they’ll register for the Ride for the Roses LiveStrong Challenge on Oct. 24-25.
