The 8th Annual Velocity Ride

On October 6, over 550 Riders, volunteers, and supporters came together, in the Hudson Valley and beyond, for the 8th Annual Velocity Ride.

Velocity is a cycling event through New York’s Hudson Valley that brings together patients, family members, supporters and medical professionals who all have one goal in mind: to help Columbia solve cancer.

Since 2017, nearly 4,500 people have joined the Velocity community, raising more than $8 million in support of expert patient care and groundbreaking research at Columbia’s Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Fundraising remains open until December 31, 2024.

Healthcare professionals and organizations shared about this on social media:
