The Lymphoma Research Foundation is hosting our 17th Annual Lymphoma Research Ride through beautiful Montgomery County to raise awareness and funds to fight lymphoma and improve the quality of life for lymphoma survivors. The Lymphoma Research Ride is a non-competitive bike ride where survivors, family, friends, individuals, community teams and corporate teams ride in honor and in memory of those whose lives have been touched by lymphoma. To date, we have raised over 5 million to help those with Lymphoma. Many of our volunteers and riders have been treated with the medications that were brought to fruition because of the funds raised.
WHAT: Approximately 400 riders will be on the road, as well as intersection monitors, and support vehicles. The Montgomery County Police have been secured to assist with traffic. Since this is a ride and not a race, the pace of bikers will be spread out.
WHERE: The Comus Inn,23900 Old Hundred Rd, Dickerson, MD
WHEN: Sunday, October1, 2023 Volunteers can do shifts or full day. We are also looking for help on September 30, 2023
