BACKGROUND

Ride Cincinnati, which was held for the first time in 2007, is the first cycling event to raise funds for breast cancer research in the Greater Cincinnati area. It is a non-competitive ride open to participants at all levels of skill.

Ride Cincinnati was founded by Dr. Harvey Harris, Ronald Stern and Craig Cowit, three Cincinnatians whose families have been touched by breast cancer. This event is dedicated to the life of Marlene Harris and all others who have, and continue to be, affected by this terrible disease.

All proceeds from Ride Cincinnati will benefit the Barrett Cancer Center at the University of Cincinnati. The mission of the Barrett Cancer Center is to transform cancer care in our region by providing the most advanced and compassionate patient care built on a foundation of innovative research and education. They are working to become the preeminent cancer care resource delivering the highest quality patient and family-centered care in a collaborative environment with an emphasis on education and community outreach.
