Join Team Granite State Wheelmen
at the 2008 Prouty Century Bike Ride and Challenge Walk!
July 12, 2008
In memory of Katherine Picard, wife of Bruce Picard (GSW member) and Tommy Young (GSW member) . Katherine and Tommy passed away in December, 2007. They both had cancer! We cannot change this and most of us are not scientists who can work on finding a cure. However, as a team, we can inspire, encourage, and raise money for cancer treatment and research for a better future.
The Prouty ride takes place in Hanover, NH and includes a 100, 50, 25 mile bike ride as well as a 5,10,15, 20k walk. Team members can sign up for any of those events. All money raised supports cancer research and patient services at Dartmouth’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Research conducted at Norris Cotton informs patient treatments around the world.
Fundraising minimum is $150 for individuals, $275 for families.
