We Are Ride Cincinnati A community of riders, virtual riders and volunteers each making a commitment to defeat cancer. Ride Cincinnati is more than just a bike ride – it’s a place of hope, optimism, determination and change. We’re In This Together 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes directly toward life-saving cancer research at the University of Cincinnati’s Barrett Cancer Center. Our objective is to become the leading grassroots organization funding cancer research in Greater Cincinnati. The Barrett Cancer Center and like-minded partners are cultivating a collaborative environment focused on the causes, prevention, treatment, outcomes and survivorship of cancer. Together we aim to make Cincinnati the smartest city in the world for cancer research, education and care. A critical means to that end is a cancer care center designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The game-changing NCI designation will transform our efforts and give our loved ones world-class cancer care right here at home.
