Fred Hutch’s “Obliteride” Is Coming Up…Bike/Walk/Run To Fight Cancer

July 28, 2022• byMichael Strangeways

The best event of the summer is the Fred Hutch Obliteride, and everyone is invited! Join us in Seattle on Saturday, August 13 to bike, walk, or run a 5K, OR if you hate doing any/all of those things, donate money to support those who are willing to bike/walk/run in the month of August! At our Friday Night Party, you may enjoy food, music, and more while dancing the night away. And become a part of the world’s collective effort to fight cancer. Each donation funds vital research at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

They also have a VIRTUAL challenge if you can’t participate on August 13th! The poo:
