WELCOME TO OBLITERIDE 2016
Each year we set our goals higher in an effort to engage more people in support
of cancer research here at Fred Hutch. We’re proud to say Obliteride continues
to grow in ridership, visibility and community strength. Since launching in 2013,
we’ve together reached nearly 35,000 donors and contributed over $7 million
to cancer research. Prostate, breast, blood, lung and brain cancer research have
all benefited as have labs researching basic science and public health initiatives,
with every dollar working to better understand how we prevent, diagnose, treat
and CURE CANCER FASTER. Fred Hutch is accelerating toward a cure, and you’re
helping us make it a reality.
Thank you for being part of Obliteride.
