Local Pelotonia team posts eye-popping fundraising numbers to combat cancer By Garth Bishop Photos courtesy of Klatte Photography
Pelotonia – the multi-day, up-to200-mile bike ride that raises money to fight cancer – is always scheduled for early August. But for one local Pelotonia team, the fundraising that surrounds the ride is a months-long endeavor. The Dublin-based Team 4 THE Cure officially formed in 2018, when the Muirfield Village team joined forces with the Honda Marysville team. The combined team raised almost $135,000 in 2021 alone and aims to surpass that figure in 2022. Pelotonia, which this year takes place Aug. 5-7, offers ride distances from 20 miles (downtown Columbus to New Albany) to 200 miles (downtown Columbus to Gambier and finishing in New Albany). Most riders participate as part of teams, each taking on a fundraising obligation for The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC). 22 • June/July 2022
