The Lymphoma Research Foundation is hosting our 15th Annual Lymphoma Research Ride through beautiful Montgomery County on October 3 to raise awareness and funds to fight lymphoma and improve the quality of life for lymphoma survivors. The Lymphoma Research Ride is a noncompetitive bike ride starting at the Barnesville school 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.
