Thanks for helping make our virtual LOWVELO a great success!

COVID-19 didn’t stop us from fighting back against cancer!

Thanks to all of our 2020 participants and sponsors for helping to make our first virtual LOWVELO a success! While COVID-19 forced us to change our original plans, we’re glad we could continue to stay active together and raise money for lifesaving cancer research.

Even though we’re done logging miles for this year’s event, fundraising will continue through Dec. 14. Additionally, our Strava groups will remain open. We encourage you to continue being active and staying connected with us all year long!

Stay tuned for more details on LOWVELO 2021! Join our mailing list so that you’ll be among the first to know when the date of next year’s event is announced.

100% to Cancer Research

While we won’t physically be together, one thing does still remain the same – 100% of every dollar we raise supports cancer research at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center.

I think I'm the luckiest guy on the planet. Here I am, diagnosed with cancer myself, and I get the best treatment from the best people in the world.

First Hollings LOWVELO fellow & cancer survivor

My main focus is to participate in LOWVELO to ride for others experiencing cancer. It’s also going to be in the back of my mind that I am riding for myself, but I think I primarily will ride for those who have it a lot worse with this disease.
