Why I Ride: Lauren Brigance

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2014 and am so lucky to have recently celebrated two years in remission!  Since I started feeling better, I have been looking for a way to help other people going through the same thing and I finally found it.  I am so excited to be able to raise money for something that’s very important to me by doing something I love – cycling!

On September 25, 2016, I will be participating in Wheel to Survive, a six hour indoor cycling event to raise money to help women batting ovarian cancer today and to provide research dollars for a cure. The best part is 100% of the money I raise will go directly to fund these programs.

This is why I ride:

One woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer every 24 minutes. 22,000 women this year.

One woman dies from ovarian cancer every 37 minutes. 15,000 women this year.

Sadly, 70% of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will die from the disease.

There is no reliable early detection test available for ovarian cancer.
