Twelve years of Pelotonia with the Midnight Train from Georgia!

Every year, we pedal and pedal and pedal for an end to cancer, remembering those currently fighting cancer and those we have lost. Despite these losses, Pelotonia remains a bright spot every year as we join together with our friends and teammates to collectively ride for a cure.

However, nothing can ever, ever prepare you for hearing the words "You have cancer." On February 24, 2025, our lives were turned completely upside down when I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. A flurry of appointments followed and Noble and I soon found ourselves traveling from Hartford to Columbus to meet with a team of specialists at The James. Through 2025 and 2026, I have completed chemotherapy, chemoradiation, and surgery all under the care of physicians at The James.

I am so grateful to have the support of a phenomenal care team, family, and friends in Columbus, Connecticut, and beyond. The cancer treatments that I began at The James in April 2025 have advanced so much because of research supported by Pelotonia. More than ever, I hope you will support Pelotonia and the Midnight Train--not just for me--but because of the necessity of continuing to support advanced cancer research and care, and for a better future ahead for all of us.

Every cent that our team raises (100%) supports life-changing cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

Thank you for your unwavering support as we pedal and pedal and pedal forward in the relentless pursuit of an end to cancer.

With much love and gratitude,
Erin
