BUFFALO, N.Y. — Thousands of cyclists took part in the annual Ride for Roswell on Saturday morning.
The Ride for Roswell is one of the nation's largest charity cycling events. Cyclists who participated honored cancer survivors, patients, and those who died from the disease.
"One out of three people have been touched by cancer in some way, and my brother in law had cancer, as did my wife, so it's emotional for us," rider Mike Musial told 2 On Your Side.
As of 3:40 p.m. on Saturday, Roswell Park said more than $5.7 million — and counting — has been raised.
"One of our friends is undergoing treatment now on a long-term basis for multiple myeloma, so he's done really well, and without Roswell, he may not be with us at this point, so we're super grateful," rider David Weeks said.
Every year the Ride for Roswell brings a community of people together to celebrate cancer survivors, pay tribute to those we've lost, and share a passion that connects us all, and that's finding a cure for cancer.
Every mile they ride and every dollar raised provides hope in the continued fight against cancer.
Channel 2 is proud sponsor of the Ride for Roswell.
