WHY OUR RIDERS RIDE

Some people ride in memory of a loved who lost her battle to ovarian cancer and other rides to support a mother, sister, daughter or other loved one who is going through the fight.  No matter why people ride they feel good about participating in the event and being the difference!

BERNICE

I participate in Wheel to Survive in honor of my daughter-in-law.  I will be riding for my 5th time this year and as an 85+ year old rider I love that I can control the pace at which I ride.  I look forward to this event each year!  Ride with me!

COLIN

I participate in Wheel to Survive in memory of my mom, Kathy, who lost her courageous battle with ovarian cancer in 2014. My mom had a real passion to help Be The Difference Foundation fight for a cure for ovarian cancer.

MISSY

I’ve participated in Wheel to Survive since 2016 in honor of my mother, an ovarian cancer survivor.  I love the high energy, excitement and enthusiasm that comes from leading a session at Wheel To Survive.  It is an incredible experience!
