Two Wheels for Jace
in Mount Pleasant (8063 Mauney Rd, Mt Pleasant, NC 28124-9090, United States) all to raise awareness and funds for DIPG Clinical Trials. This is a benefit ride and all proceeds are donated to the Warrior Jace Foundation to help fund clinical trials to find a cure for DIPG. Who is Affected by DIPG? Warrior Jace Thompson had DIPG, diagnosed at age 4 and he fought bravely with all thumbs up for 347 days.
DIPG primarily affects children, with most diagnoses occurring between 5 and 7 years of age. It makes up 10-15% of all brain tumors in children, with about 150-300 new diagnoses per year in the United States. Unfortunately, fewer than 10% of children survive two years from diagnosis.
There will be a silent auction, kids entertainment (ie games and inflatable play house and merchandise for sale prior to departure at 1pm. Please come early to take part in these activities prior to your departure on your two wheels. There is a convenient store at the half way mark on the 60 mile bicycle route. There are not any rest stops, so please plan accordingly. There will be recovery snacks before and after the race.
There will be guest pro cyclists attending and will be announced soon.
