More than 3,000 participants took over Petco Park for an all day event raising money for cancer research. The grant money goes directly to San Diego-based institutions for collaborative cancer research.
Despite being in surgery about a month ago for a rare form of ovarian cancer, 18-year-old Natalie Licosati was bright eyed at Saturday’s Padres Pedal the Cause, an annual bike ride and fundraiser for cancer research.
Licosati’s white jersey was emblazoned with her and her family’s team name, Bill’s Angels, on the back. On Saturday, riders of all ages shuffled through the baseball park as live music blared in Gallagher Square. Some were pushing bikes, and others carried posters with shiny words of encouragement. Under the Bumble Bee Seafoods building was a wall where people used colorful markers to complete the phrase “I ride for” with the name of someone impacted by cancer.
Marbarger said a unique feature of her organization’s grants is that they require collaboration between research institutions. Curebound awards three types of grants that range from $250,000 to $1 million to advance critical cancer research from the idea phase to a clinical solution.
