ENP STAFF REPORTS

More than 8,100 bike riders raised over $4.3 million today during the 2014 Ride for Roswell.
Three of the ride's 11 routes went through East Niagara, with the longest of the routes — for experienced riders only — cutting straight through, all the way to Lake Ontario at Golden Hill State Park in Somerset. The course, which allowed for 500 riders, was at capacity for the year.
The two other courses that went through East Niagara were the 62.5-mile course, which went through Wolcottsville, and the 44-mile course, which went through Rapids. They were each at capacity, as well, allowing for 850 riders on each route.
Funds raised through the Ride For Roswell support research and patient care programs that benefit the 31,000 patients who turn to Roswell Park for hope. Donations are further used to improve the patient and family experience, support new clinical treatments and procedures, provide proper clinical space to meet the increasing demand for cancer services, and educate the next generation of cancer scientists and clinicians.
