Pedal the Cause

💙 Meet the PTC Board: Renee Van Horn is our incredible Secretary and one of the passionate Team Captains of Team Powered by Hope. For 13 years, Renee has been riding and fundraising for Pedal the Cause—personally raising more than $43,000 and helping lead a team that has collectively contributed over $3.3 million since 2010! ✨ "I am all in for Pedal the Cause because as a survivor I am living proof that what we do makes a difference in the lives of cancer fighters, survivors and thrivers. I have seen first-hand that the dollars we raise are being utilized to create treatments for cancers that were formerly uncurable. And I have experienced first-hand that the community we have created is stronger together." 🙌 Renee, your journey as both a survivor and a leader inspires us all. Thank you for showing the power of hope, community, and resilience—and for proving every day that together, we can change the future of cancer.

✨ This week, our Pedal VIPs got a behind-the-scenes look inside the Stewart Lab at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis — a Pedal-funded lab since 2010. 🙌 🔬 Dr. Sheila Stewart and her team are advancing groundbreaking research on how aging cells influence breast cancer development, the immune system, and even dormant cancer cells — with the goal of unlocking new treatments.🧪 💙 Huge thanks to Dr. Stewart and her team for welcoming our Pedal Family into the lab and showing the incredible impact your fundraising dollars make! 🔬🚴♀️
