One Goal: End Cancer.
The Pelotonia Student Team - College of Dentistry is a Peloton created and organized by Ohio State University dental students wanting to have an active "ROLL" in the fight against cancer. This Facebook group was created to help members of the PST - College of Dentistry Peloton stay up to date with upcoming training and fundraising activities.
"Pelotonia is a grassroots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. Pelotonia raises money for innovative and life saving cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solve Research Institute. Driven by the passion of its cyclists and volunteers, and their family and friends, Pelotonia's annual cycling experience will be a place of hope, energy and determination. Pelotonia proudly directs 100% of every dollar raised to research. It is a community of people coming together to chase down cancer and defeat it." (Pelotonia.org).
