Fundraising past the finish line
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.
LOWVELO23: One for the books
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.
