Palmetto Peloton Project

 

 

P3 riders and volunteers raised the funds through the Stars and Stripes Challenge, a ride that coincides with the USA Cycling Pro Championships that took place here in Greenville in September and May, as well as the 2010 Challenge to Conquer Cancer relay ride from Greenville to Austin, Texas (October 17-24).

 

“P3 centers around a group of people impacted by cancer who challenge themselves to help advance treatment through research locally and nationally,” said organizer Kevin Dunn. “Our riders have high goals, and their challenges are physical, emotional and philanthropic. It’s not easy to bike up Paris Mountain, and it’s not easy to be responsible for raising $2,500 or $5,000, but when a P3 rider compares that to a loved one’s cancer battle, the challenge becomes easier.”

 

P3 volunteer and GHS employee Lisa Barwick has ridden in the Stars and Stripes Challenge every year since its inception and has been a part of the relay team to Austin twice.

 

“I am honored,” she said, “to be part of the passion people put into our events. Nearly every one has a connection with the P3 mission and a compelling story. Through both P3 events – Stars and Stripes Challenge and Challenge to Conquer Cancer – I can see the difference P3 makes and the power of what we are doing.”
