New Event Added to Amy’s Ride/Run/Walk May 21, 2016

Raising money for pancreatic cancer research and awareness

 

The second annual Amy’s Ride/Run/Walk to benefit pancreatic cancer awareness and treatment is scheduled for May 21, 2016. This year’s event has a timed 5K run, in addition to the 3 mile family walk and cycling events.

The cycling rides this year will be a different route, with a 24 and 42 mile option. The 24 mile ride takes you through scenic Haycock Township (Bucks County) and around Lake Towhee, and over an enchanting covered bridge. The 42 mile route follows the same path as the 24 mile group, but takes an additional 18 mile look through Springfield Township, and includes an additional covered bridge. For cyclists looking for a challenge, take the optional 41 mile course that takes a mile of the ride, adding the “hike” up “Ghost Mountain,” a category 5 hill.

The event costs for the 3 mile family walk start at $25/Adult, $5/9-16 yrs. old, under 9 free. 5K timed run is

$30, and the cycling events are $45. These prices are in effect until event day, when they increase by

$5.00. First 200 registrants receive a free t-shirt. Peer-to-peer fundraising opportunities are also available with additional prizes for level of funds raised.

Amy’s Ride/Run/Walk raised over $40,000 in 2015 with all proceeds going to Jefferson University Hospital Cancer Center. 2016 we are happy to continue our affiliation with Jefferson University Hospital, the facility that treated Amy Cygan Spier, the namesake of this event.
