The health and well-being of our patients is our top priority. We want to let you know that we have been monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation closely and will provide any updates to you as soon as possible. We advise that everyone must make their own decisions with regard to managing their risk of exposure. We encourage anyone exhibiting symptoms to please consult your physician. If you have any additional questions about COVID-19, you may contact the MMRF Patient Navigation Center (PNC) at 888-841-6673. The PNC is a resource center staffed with full-time, specially trained hematology/oncology patient navigators that provide support to patients and their caregivers. You can reach the PNC Monday-Friday from 9AM-7PM. If you have any questions about an upcoming Endurance Event, please contact teammanager@themmrf.org.
Our six-day adventure (seven-days including travel) will wind through this nature-lover's paradise, bringing cyclists past the wild White Salmon River and along the Historic Columbia River Highway, a National Historic Landmark. Cyclists will pedal through Willamette Valley through farms and orchards, and challenge themselves on our routes while overlooking iconic Mount Adams and Mount Hood. This tour has endless opportunity for challenge and adventure with exhilarating elevation gain, incredible vistas, and rewarding accomplishments in the name of fighting Myeloma. This tour offers our team various distances to ride each day, depending on strength and ability, but make no mistake: you will need to train for this challenge (we will help you with our 12-week training plans offered by our team coach). We will start and end each day as a team, ride at our own pace, and at the end of the day share our adventures, memories, and stories!
Our 20-person team will ride up to 300+ miles over the course of six days, along the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, which separates Washington from Oregon. The R2V team then continues on through Oregon’s scenic and challenging Willamette Valley. Riders can choose from a variety of distances each day to take on the distance that challenges them. The MMRF will continue to work with Backroads, a company with an impeccable 40-year track record, so that safety, support and the ride itself are top notch, allowing our team members to focus on their personal mission and for the MMRF to create a powerful experience for the team.
This challenging and beautiful 1-day ride begins in Poughkeepsie, NY, approximately 75 miles outside of NYC. Now in its 10th year, this bucket list event is put on by BIKE NY, who have earned a reputation for staging some of the best 1-day distance rides in the North East. Pick your distance – 33, 55, 75, or 100 miles – and ride on quiet roads as you meander through farm land and climb challenging hills through Ulster and Dutchess Counties in NY’s bucolic Hudson Valley region.
