“We are excited to bring the amazing community of riders, cancer survivors, supporters, Myers Park Neighborhood and spectators back together again this summer to celebrate fifteen incredible years of fighting cancer,” Peter Davis, executive director of 24 Foundation. “This is a bike ride for everyone to help put cancer in its place, so we encourage people to grab their family, friends and co-workers and sign up as soon as possible as registration fills up quickly.”
