Episode 108: All About Pelotonia 2022, With Doug Ulman and Joe Apgar


Listen Later

Registration has begun for the 14th Pelotonia, the amazing, fundraising cycling event that has raised $236 million for cancer research at The James. In this episode we talk with Pelotonia CEO Doug Ulman and President Joe Apgar. They describe the new routes, provide some fundraising tips, and give an overview of the new Victoria’s Secret and Pelotonia collaboration to award $8.5 million over the next two years to female cancer scientists around the world working on the most-promising research to beat women’s cancers, such as breast cancer and uterine cancer. Ulman also fills us in on his recent trip to the White House, where President Biden announced a renewed commitment to the Cancer Moonshot Project that was first announced during the final year of the Obama Administration. “The White House has a really aspirational goal, to reduce the number of cancer deaths by 50 percent in the next 25 years,” Ulman said. “That will save hundreds of thousands of lives and put us on the trajectory to ending this disease.” Some of the statewide initiatives for prevention, screening and genetic testing, funded by Pelotonia and implemented by The James, could serve as national models in the years to come, he added.
