The Ride to Conquer Cancer is an exciting two-day cycling event to take place on September 19-20, 2015 raising funds for Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Sibley Memorial and Suburban Hospitals. Volunteering for this event is a direct contribution to transforming cancer medicine. Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Sibley Memorial Hospital, and Suburban Hospital are using scientific discoveries to determine which treatments and screening interventions will work best for each patient. In this new model, the promise of personalized medicine is becoming a reality. The work of Johns Hopkins physicians and scientists are ensuring we get the right treatments to the right patients at the right time. The Ride to Conquer Cancer is currently looking for energetic, fun-loving people to join our EVENT VOLUNTEER/CREW TEAMS. Tasks will include: Set-up, tear down, registration, check-in, water hand out, route marshaling, donations processing, etc. (Volunteer opportunities are based on task preference.) This powerful event is a great way to build your resume, gain volunteer hours for school, expand your professional network and establish a well-respected reference. DATE: SEPTEMBER 19-20, 2015

Mission Statement

The Ride to Conquer Cancer is a unique, two-day cycling event taking place on June 6-7,2015 (NYC) and September 19-20, 2015 (DC). During this bold cycling journey, riders will cycle over 150 miles to raise money for cancer research.

Description

Riding 150+ miles through New York in two days. Sure, it sounds like a lot -- and it’s meant to be. But make no mistake, this event on June 6-7, 2015 isn’t just for athletes or cycling enthusiasts.

The Cancer Research Institute Ride to Conquer Cancer sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb is for anyone who wants to challenge themselves for a great cause. All you need is motivation, a bike and a helmet. Your participation in The Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting Cancer Research Institute (CRI) will support groundbreaking laboratory and clinical research, bringing innovative immune-based cancer treatments (immunotherapy) to patients and offering them new hope.

Your 2-day cycling adventure begins as you gather with fellow Riders for an inspiring Opening Ceremony, where we’ll remember those lost to cancer and honor those continuing the fight. After an energizing sendoff, you’ll Ride out with a renewed sense of purpose, as you follow the route through some of New York's most dynamic scenery.

We’ll explore and escape to the countryside. We’ll cross into Connecticut where you’ll be surrounded by scenes lifted straight from a holiday postcard. You’ll pass storied stone walls and green pastures, colonial houses and quaint gift shops. You’ll be rejuvenated in a way that can only be achieved by a long ride along the coast and open air of picturesque New England. Lining the route every 10-20 miles, you’ll find Pit Stops fully stocked with all the snacks and hydration you’ll need to keep going. Day One culminates with arrival at Camp, where you can enjoy a cold beer, a hot shower, and a well-deserved massage before a fun evening of entertainment and socializing.

After camping overnight, Day Two will lead you further through the inspiring landscape, as you make your way toward the Finish Line -- a high-energy celebration of your epic Ride and the amazing impact you’ve made in the quest to conquer cancer.
