For A Cure Foundation
is a 501c3 non profit foundation set up to raise money for cancer

| THE
RIDE 2008: |
The
Ride gets under way at 12:00 pm with a lunch stop-over at 2:00
PM, concluding with a dinner/dance evening filled with music entertainment
and fundraising opportunities.
The ride is not an easy ride. Saddle sores, blisters and a few
broken bones to name a few…but I always tell people that
the arduous process of being diagnosed and going through cancer
treatment itself is not easy either.
Riding and raising money for cancer research is a piece of cake!

| WHO
BENEFITS: |
Once
again, it is our distinct honor to make The University
of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation our beneficiary.
Since its inception in 2001, Riding
For A Cure
has selected the American Cancer Society and The University
of Chicago Cancer Research Foundation as the recipients
of nearly $350,000 from our fundraising efforts.
But the real beneficiaries will be you and me! As I have said
countless times in the past, cancer knows no strangers or boundaries
and does not discriminate. At some time in your life, you or a
loved one will be stricken with cancer. And it is only through
research funding that we will find a cure.
