I'm supporting the American Cancer Society and you can, too!

Team:Vaco | T-Cetra | OhioX

This is a personal ask for your support as I prepare to ride 328 miles across the entire state of Ohio ­ all to help people who are battling cancer right now, and make sure others don¹t face the same dilemma. 

On July 25 2024, I'll embark on a bike tour called the American Cancer Society Pan Ohio Hope Ride  which will take 4 days and cover 328 miles. This will be my 16th year of riding.

The tour’s goal is to raise awareness about, and funds for, the American Cancer Society¹s Hope Lodges. These facilities are essentially massive homes that are open to anyone who is fighting cancer but is struggling financially, logistically, or in any other way. The Hope Lodges give these fighters, and their families, everything they need so they can solely focus on getting better.

Every $1,000 I raise provides a 2 week stay in an ACS Hope Lodge for a cancer patient undergoing treatment and their caregiver; an average stay is 4 weeks! My goal is to help by providing 10 - 2 weeks stays. You can help me help 10 families in need.

Thanks for your consideration and support,

Ben

Cancer has touched all of us in some way. And we want to stop this disease in its tracks. We'll spend the next few weeks fundraising for the American Cancer Society. Then, on the day of the event, we'll honor the lives lost to cancer, celebrate survivors, and support the caregivers who so selflessly help others.  

Together, we'll be a part of making a difference in this important cause.
