This summer, on August 2nd, I’ll be riding the 50-mile route of Pelotonia, a cycling event held each year in Columbus with One Goal: END CANCER. What makes Pelotonia truly unique is that 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – The James. Over the past 16 years, it has raised an incredible $309 million for cancer research, and $26.2 in 2024 alone.

Land-Grant has proudly supported Pelotonia since 2015, and this will mark my fourth year riding. Thanks to the generosity of friends and supporters, I’ve personally raised $5,565 through my rides alone—on top of all the events, custom beers, and happy hours we’ve hosted at Land-Grant over the years. This cause is deeply meaningful to me, both personally and professionally, and to the community I care so much about.

If you’re in a position to give, I’m asking for your help in reaching my $1,500 fundraising goal for this year. Pelotonia is a powerful force in the fight against cancer, funding cutting-edge research and lifesaving treatment.
