2011 Reid's Ride Bike-a-thon Registration & Fund-raising Home Page
Reid's Ride is the main fund-raising event for the Reid Sacco Memorial Cancer Research Fund. That Fund is dedicated to supporting clinical and scientific research into finding better treatments -- and someday a cure -- for the cancers that strike adolescents and young adults. It is acknowledged by the medical community worldwide that this population of cancer victims has not benefitted from the advances in cancer treatment and survival rates as have other age groups. It is a gap into which Reid and young adult cancer patients like him found themselves, willing to fight but without an army of options to help.
Your donations are helping to close that disparity, by allowing the Fund to support innovative programs designed to make sure this age group is not left behind.
If you have any questions about the Ride or about the Fund, or any suggestions to help us make this year's Reid's Ride more fun, enjoyable, and rewarding -- email us at reidsride@reidsaccofoundation.org. Also, contact us by this address if you prefer to register by mail and we'll send out a registration form (remember to give us your address in your email).
Note: You'll notice "Essex County Community Foundation" on this page and on the correspondence you'll receive about your registration or your donations. ECCF manages the investment, tax-exempt, and administrative details of the "Reid Sacco Memorial Cancer Research Fund". All proceeds from Reid's Ride are deposited to the Fund. The Reid Sacco Memorial Foundation makes all decisions on which programs and projects are supported by the Fund.
