Pedal the Cause on September 20 – 21, 2014

I invite you to join the fight against cancer and Ride with Triton Pride on September 20 – 21 at our 2nd annual Pedal the Cause – a signature cycling fundraising event that supports the exceptional collaborative and translational research taking place at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and the Salk and Sanford-Burnham cancer centers.

Pedal the Cause offers ride options for everyone. From a 10-mile ride to a two-day, 150-mile journey to Temecula, the event provides a range of opportunities to participate in highlighting the importance of combatting San Diego’s leading cause of death. You can even join as a virtual rider or volunteer to be involved at any level. However you choose to participate, you can make a difference. For more information, visit http://www.ridewithtritonpride.org/ or watch the video at http://cancer.ucsd.edu/about-us/events/Pages/pedal-the-cause.aspx to hear from UC San Diego staff, faculty, alumni and students about why your support is so important.

Half of all men and one in three women will personally experience cancer during their lifetime. Join our Triton family as we ride together and support our colleagues at Moores Cancer Center and the San Diego community of outstanding physicians, researchers and care-givers for the ultimate benefit to cancer patients here and throughout the world.
