A Ride for
Ride
The theme for this year's
10th Annual ride reflects the support that each cyclist will give to our Wear
Yellow Cab Ride Program. The fee for each rider on the Wear Yellow Ride will
support one cab ride for a cancer patient who may not have adequate
transportation to get to their treatments.
Wear Yellow Nebraska will
be hosting the 10th Annual Wear Yellow Ride on Saturday, May 18, 2013
at the Strategic Air & Space Museum, Ashland, Nebraska. The
bike tour aims to raise funds and awareness for Wear Yellow Nebraska which is a
local grassroots organization fighting against cancer through advocacy,
awareness and fundraising. We want to inspire others in the community to take
action in our fight. Our mission is to unite Nebraskans in the fight against
cancer through advocacy, awareness and fundraising.
Distances:
Over 500 participants from as far as
North Platte, Syracuse, Fremont, Council Bluffs, Lincoln, and the Omaha,
Nebraska metro area will choose their course distance with 10, 22, 38, 51 and 62
mile options available (all distances are approximate and may vary up to one
half mile). All courses will close at 1pm, please choose a route that you can
complete by this allotted time.
