Volunteer registration for LOWVELO24 is open. It takes between 300 and 500 volunteers for LOWVELO to roll smoothly. There are several opportunities to help out on ride day or with the preparations and events leading up to it. Volunteer MiShell Prati Cleveland shares her experience and why she loves participating.

It was one for the record books. LOWELO23 had more riders, volunteers and dollars raised than any ride in its five-year history. Participants – all 1,334 of them – combined to smash the fundraising record, collecting more than $650,000 for lifesaving cancer research at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center.

Amanda Oberhaus was unable to attend LOWVELO23 on ride day, Nov. 5, but that isn’t stopping her from fundraising for lifesaving cancer research at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center. While many of us are slowing down to take it easy through the rest of the year, Oberhaus is gearing up to lead her own donation-based fitness event.

This year’s LOWVELO, which raises funds for lifesaving cancer research at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, was the most successful in the event’s five-year history with more riders, teams, volunteers, sponsors and community involvement than any other year. More than 1,250 riders took part in the event and that number is still rising.

It’s not your average LOWVELO bike ride team. There are no bicycle shorts. There are no helmets. There are not even any road bikes. The average age? Somewhere between 80 and 90 years old – proof that wellness can be found at any stage of life.

It was never a question. Jessica Baxter was going to college. It was something her mother always pushed for her children. Baxter was already doing a good job of securing the funds to get her education – but she got a boost when she was awarded a LOWVELO Scholarship.
