Photo of the Week: Cure on Wheels Kicks off 14th Annual Capitol Ride
Four days and 325 miles. That’s how far and how long 20 cyclists will ride to raise money for cancer research and prevention. Cure on Wheels kicked off its 14th annual Capitol Ride Sunday morning. The cyclists left Moffitt McKinley Hospital in Tampa for Tallahassee where they will arrive at the State Capitol building on Wednesday. Once there, they will meet with state representatives to advocate for more funding for cancer research and patient services at Moffitt Cancer Center.
The cyclists will ride about 100 miles for the first three days, stopping in Ocala and Lake City along the way. After they arrive in Tallahassee, they will present a check with the proceeds from last year’s ride which raised $50,000.
