BIKING FOR A CURE

Founded in 2013, the Lymphomaniacs has grown to be the largest team participating in the Scenic Shore Bike Tour. We have raised over $100,000 each of the last four years. The funds support the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: To cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
Team members represent a broad range of ages and biking experience. We are bound together by the mission of finding cures, supporting one another in biking, fundraising, and life, and being a positive force in our communities.
