This year’s ride is dedicated to Cory Lunger an avid cyclist who ended his five-year fight with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) earlier this year. Lunger overcame bone pain and rallied back from aggressive rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant to ride 180 miles in the first Pelotonia bike event in 2009. He road 100 miles in the event the following year and, despite a relapse in both 2011 and 2012, Lunger managed to ride 50 miles in both years. Prior to his death, Lunger set up a research fund dedicated to finding a cure for ALL in adults. Donate online at CoryLungerFund.org and, while your online, sign up for ride at bikethecbus.com.
