Pelotonia<\/a>. Founded in 2008, Pelotonia was established with the objective to fund life saving cancer research. Pelotonia is a three-day fundraiser experience, which includes a weekend of cycling and volunteerism.<\/p>\nTRC is again supporting the participation of our employees from all of our portfolio companies. Additionally, over a dozen key TRC vendor partners have joined us as \u201cSponsors\u201d of the TRC riders!<\/p>\n
For 2018, TRC companies are fielding seven riders, one virtual rider and 14 volunteers for the event. For the riders and volunteers, it\u2019s personal as cancer hits close to home and affects us all.<\/p>\n
In their own words, read why TRC\u2019s employees and their families are involved in Pelotonia:<\/p>\n
Brent Klomparens: 100 Miles<\/strong>
\n\u201cGet involved, you won\u2019t regret it. When you do it once, you are hooked.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nI moved to Ohio about four years ago, and at that time, Pelotonia was already a big thing. I wanted to get involved in Pelotonia because it is an event that brings the Columbus and Ohio community together, and it\u2019s fun to ride with a team.<\/p>\n
I have been into cycling since I was a little kid, and riding for Pelotonia gives a real purpose to my cycling.<\/p>\n
Chris Intihar: 100 Miles<\/strong>
\n\u201cI am thrilled that so many TRC people have decided to get involved, it is a very powerful event, and it is great to be part of.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nI lost my dad and brother to cancer, so I want to ride for Pelotonia and give back in their memories. Last year, I talked to friends who also wanted to ride, and we put a team together. This year we have a lot of volunteers as well, and it\u2019s also important to recognize the work they do. They set up tents, pick up garbage \u2013 they are awesome.<\/p>\n
It is not a race, but a ride, it\u2019s fun. I like to see the way the community comes together, and you will see cancer survivors cheering you up.<\/p>\n
Tony Collins: 45 Miles<\/strong>
\n\u201cEvery little thing helps, hopefully we can battle against cancer. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\nLast year, I saw Team TRC posting pictures about Pelotonia, and it looked really cool. Then I saw a TRC e-mail, and I wanted to help out. Cancer affects 33% of the population, including me as my grandfather died from various forms of cancer. I also have a military friend from Germany, and he has been battling cancer for six years. He has a 12-year old girl to take care.<\/p>\n
Ed Mitchell: 35 Miles<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt is truly for a great cause.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nMy father had cancer on July 3rd in 2012. We went to The James Cancer Hospital, and that\u2019s how I learned about Pelotonia. My father lost his battle with lymphoma on May 29, 2015.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been riding since 2012, and this year is my fifth year of riding for Pelotonia. The James Cancer Hospital is indeed a great facility, and it is also very fun to ride with friends.<\/p>\n
Gianfranco Tripodo: 100 Miles (Virtual Rider from Italy)<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt moves my legs and it moves my heart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nI heard about the event from TRC, and I like riding bikes, so I signed up for the Pelotonia Event. I always have the passion for riding, and I lost my mom to cancer.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s my first run, and I hope it will also be the last one because it would mean that Pelotonia has reached its goal to beat cancer!<\/p>\n
