More than 3,000 cyclists, of all skill levels, came out for the 5th Annual Tour of Long Beach on Saturday, May 10. This year $200,000 was raised for pediatric cancer research at the Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Center (JJCCC) at Miller Children’s Hospital Long Beach. Funds were raised from a combination of registration fees, online fundraising efforts and community sponsors.
“The Tour of Long Beach is a major fundraising boost for our pediatric cancer research efforts,” says Amanda Termuhlen, M.D., medical director, Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Center, Miller Children’s. “Donations from the Tour of Long Beach support new, innovative treatments for our patients, crucial services for their families and clinical research. Future generations of children and families will continue to benefit from this event’s support and dedication.”
