Ride for Life marks 25th anniversary with Aug. 15 dice run

Saturday, Aug. 15, is the date of the 25th annual Ride for Life Dice Run benefiting the American Cancer Society. The ride is approximately 135 miles long through six beautiful West Virginia counties, including dice-roll stops in Barbour, Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Preston and Taylor counties.

Registration is from 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 15 at Texas Roadhouse in Clarksburg. All participants will depart at their leisure no later than noon. The cost is $20 per bike and $10 per rider, which includes breakfast at Texas Roadhouse, snacks along the way, a beautiful ride through country roads and dinner at Best Western Plus in Bridgeport, along with a band and lots of raffles, not to mention cash prizes for high and low rolls.

People who do not want to do the ride can come to the dinner beginning at 5 p.m. There will be a band on stage and many raffles at the dinner. A highlight of the evening will be a display of shirts from the previous 25 years in the ballroom during dinner.

Ride for Life Co-chair Chrissy Musta said:

“Cancer Never Quits, and neither will we.”

Funds raised through this and other events for the American Cancer Society are funding life-saving research to “help end cancer as we know it.”

Co-chair Cecilia Daugherty said:

“There were 648 participants last year, and we are hoping for more this year.”

To register for the Ride for Life event, come to registration between 10 a.m. and noon at Texas Roadhouse in Clarksburg. Anyone with questions may contact Musta at 304-677-1472. Text is preferred because calls from unknown numbers will be sent to spam and voicemail.
