In 2011, Ed Nelson’s sister Deana was treated for breast cancer. At that time, he felt like he needed to do something. He decided to ride in Bike to Beat Cancer.
The 10th annual Bike to Beat Cancer on Saturday, Sept. 8, 2018, at Norton Cancer Institute – Brownsboro, will be Ed’s seventh time riding in the fundraising event.
“It gives you a sense of pride and achievement,” he said.
