3-2-1 Ride raises money for melanoma and pancreatic cancer research

PITTSBURGH — 11 Cares and its partners are proud to team up with the Woiner Foundation in support of 3-2-1 Ride, a cycling event that raises money for cancer research, awareness and patient care.

Grab your bikes, helmets and sunscreen and head to Heinz Field on Sunday Oct. 14 - but don't forget to register first.

Riders can choose from a 7-mile family trail ride (Rita’s Ride), a 25-mile city ride (Tim’s Tour), or a 62-mile Metric Century ride on the Great Allegheny Passage.

All rides start and end at the Heinz Field Quay on the North Shore.

Anyone who is interested in riding can register online through Friday, Oct. 12 at midnight. There's no same-day registration.

In its first five years, 3-2-1 Ride has generated more than $300,000 to support the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center's Melanoma and Skin Cancer Program and the Alliance for Families Fighting Pancreatic Cancer.

The mission of 11 Cares is to use the power of our voice to provide our resources and bring awareness to community efforts. 11 Cares will come together with its partners (CNX, Dollar Bank, Gateway Health and Giant Eagle) to help make a difference, inspiring our community to lend a hand to support issues impacting the Pittsburgh area.
