The date is set! Spin for the Cure 2011 wants to invite everyone to join us in this unique four-hour event to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Mark your calendars for the sixth-annual Spin for the Cure on Saturday, October 8, 2011, at Xavier University's Cintas Center.
This year, as an exciting new feature of Spin for the Cure, we would like to welcome all outdoor cyclists to bring their road bikes along with a bike trainer and participate in the event alongside the spin enthusiast. For the sixth year in a row, Spin for the Cure will help raise awareness, hopes and funds to benefit breast cancer victims and cancer research. Ride to the top of the highest hills and race down the other side – all for a worthy cause.
Since 2006, Spin for the Cure founder Vickie Magliano and fellow Cincinnatians have supported Susan G. Komen for the Cure Greater Cincinnati by doing what they love – Spinning®. The 2010 event raised more than $28,000. Last year’s “Survival of the Five-Hour Ride” honored 12 local survivors by featuring their photos in the Spin for the Cure 2011 calendar.
Each year, thousands are diagnosed with breast cancer, and events like Spin for the Cure help provide essential funding needed for advancements in medical technology – helping patients receive the best care possible, empowering cancer victims and their families with hope and help, and most importantly, energizing science and continuing research to find a cure and end breast cancer forever.
Save the date and join our fight! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced cyclist, solo participant or part of a team, volunteer or rider sponsor, make 2011 the year you do something to make a real difference in the lives of those fighting breast cancer. Make it the year you Spin for the Cure.
