Bike To Beat Cancer 2015 Supports The Norton Cancer Institute
Bike To Beat Cancer takes place Saturday, September 19, 2015. The cycling event, which is in its seventh year, raises Norton Cancer Institute in Louisville Kentucky. The funds support cancer research, programs, and services.
The biking event has cycling routes for riders of various skill levels. Experienced and beginner riders have the choice of 100, 65, 35, or 5 miles courses. The 5-mile ride is a family ride that loops through Norton Commons.
Bike to Beat Cancer raises money through rider participation. Each general rider’s goal is to raise $400 through a donation page the event sets up for each rider. Cancer survivors goals are to raise $100 each.
Riders who participate in the 5-mile family ride pay a $25 registration fee per family and are encouraged to fundraise but are not required to. All family riders will be entered in a raffle for two kid’s bikes, and family riders will receive a shirt and a meal.
Riders who fundraise more than a $1000 will receive a special “champion” jersey and wristband to make then stand out from the rest of the crowd during the event. More than 100 people received the honor at the 2014 Bike to Beat Cancer event.
