THE RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER raised $2.1 million for cancer research and accelerates transformational cancer discoveries at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Sibley Memorial, Suburban and Howard County General Hospitals.

“The Ride to Conquer Cancer is a testament to strength in numbers and we are very thankful to the community of riders, donors, sponsors, crew members and volunteers whose commitment has enabled the second annual Ride to be a great success,” said William Nelson, director of the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.

Over two years, the two-day 150-mile ride held in the Washington area raised $4.7 million. This year, over 500 riders participated.
