Pelotonia Ride Weekend returned as an in-person event in 2021, drew more than 10,400 participants and generated nearly $20 million in support of the OSUCCC – James’ vision of creating a cancer-free world.

“Despite the pandemic, we at the OSUCCC – James have maintained our focus on providing science-based and compassionate cancer care to those who come to us for help,” says OSUCCC director Raphael E. Pollock, MD, PhD, FACS.

“Cancer hasn’t stopped during the pandemic, and neither has our cancer program or the Pelotonia community,” he adds. “We are tremendously grateful for the continuous support we receive — no matter what the circumstances — from Pelotonia Riders, Challengers, Volunteers, Donors and Funding Partners. Our vision of creating a cancer-free world endures."

“Through translational research, some of which receives Pelotonia support, we’re continuously expanding the number of precision medicine and immuno-oncology options available to our patients,” says James CEO William B. Farrar, MD. “These targeted treatments are changing our approach to patient care. I’m grateful to everyone who participates in Pelotonia in any way.”
