The Pan Ohio Hope Ride is put on by the American Cancer Society.
The group is biking from Cleveland to Cincinnati. On Saturday, they rode from Columbus to Dayton.
Their goal is to raise over $1 million for the Cleveland Hope Lodge. It’s where patients and caregivers from across Ohio and the country come to receive patient care.
As of late Saturday afternoon, they raised over $988,000.
Chris Witzgal has been making this trip for over a decade.
“You put yourself in other people’s shoes, and what they’re going through and the struggles, and you know what we do is hard, but it is just so rewarding and just the camaraderie. It’s almost like a summer camp for adults,” he said.
This is the 20th anniversary, and over 300 cyclists take the journey.
