Dear Family and Friends,
As a cancer survivor and cyclist, I’m proud to support Curebound/Padres Pedal the Cause again this year to fund collaborative cancer research projects and clinical trials at San Diego’s world-renowned cancer research institutions:
- Moores Cancer Center at UCSD Health
- Salk Institute for Biological Studies
- Rady Children’s Hospital
- Sanford-Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute
- La Jolla Institute for Immunology
- Scripps Research Institute
Cancer cures arise from world-class discovery research. Since 2013, Padres Pedal has raised $21.6 million to fund 95 discovery cancer research programs and six clinical trials to develop new diagnostics and treatments for a wide variety of cancers. We are hopeful that many of these will result in cures. 100% of the funds that you donate to Padres Pedal will go directly to support these projects. And so far, every dollar donated has generated $14 in follow-on funding from other national sources.
I hope that you’ll join us and donate to this worthy cause.
For those of you in San Diego, I hope to see you at our annual Padres Pedal the Cause event at Petco Park on April 7, 2024. Last year we had 2,607 participants, 130 teams and raised $3.25 million for cancer research!
Thanks in advance for your generosity and warm regards,
Bob Murtfeldt
