Team WKYC participates in VeloSano 'Bike To Cure' ride, raises thousands for cancer research

There's still time to donate!

It was certainly a successful Saturday, as WKYC helped others step up in the fight against cancer.

Despite the hot weather, 18 riders (including on-air personalities Sara Shookman, Dorsena Drakeford, and Will Ujek) joined Team WKYC in Cleveland Clinic's annual VeloSano "Bike To Cure" event. Each biked at least 10 miles and donated to the cause, while Dorsena and Will among those going 50 miles.

The occasion is particularly meaningful for Sara, who lost her father Scott to appendiceal cancer four years ago. She went 25 miles, and even used a GoPro to capture moments along the route.

WKYC is looking to raise $15,000 for cancer research, and is less than $500 from that goal. There is still time to donate, which you can do here.
