15th Annual Reid's Ride Raises More Than $200,000

A release from Lorraine Sacco and Reid’s Ride, Fighting Adolescent & Young Adult Cancers:

LYNNFIELD, Ma. - The weekend's heatwave did nothing to discourage cyclists, supporters and
volunteers from participating in this year's 28-mile Reid's Ride held Sunday morning, July 21.
Warnings from forecasters about the near-record-setting temperatures for Sunday did not stifle
the enthusiasm and commitment of the event's dedicated riders and volunteers. In spite of the
weather, turnout was as inspiring as ever.

This was the 15th annual Reid's Ride and over those years the proceeds from Reid's Ride have made possible many unprecedented improvements in the care and treatment of cancer patients ages 15 to 39.

The 2019 Reid’s Ride raised more than $205,000 to fight the cancers striking Adolescent & Young Adults. This total is expected to swell as additional donations to teams and individuals, as well as company matches, continue to come in during the next several weeks. The Reid's Ride website will remain open until October so that supporters can make post-event tax-exempt donations to their favorite teams, favorite riders, or to the event itself.

Taking honors for the top fundraising teams were: Danvers Diehards ($14,233); We Can’t
Stop ($13,399); Firefighters Fighting Cancer ($6,037); Beverly Rockin Rotarians ($5,917);
North Shore Smiles ($5,425); Friends in Texas ($5,075); Team Cleo ($3,320); Team Always
Sonny ($2,910); Team NH ($2,740); Rotary (Lynnfield) Riders ($2,525); and Lynnfield
Moms ($2,415).

($4,642); Weston Sacco ($3,574); Mike Marra ($3,251); Jane Greeno ($2,621); Joey Fogg
