Every spring, John Cash bike rides 80 miles to help cancer patients. The bike ride, called Climb to Conquer, raises proceeds to support the Gibbs Cancer Center & Research Institute Survivorship Fund with Spartanburg Regional Foundation.

This fund addresses the psychosocial needs of recovering cancer patients – an often overlooked aspect of overall wellness. Many patients worry not just about cancer, but also about work and finances, or the toll of their illness on loved ones.

Since starting his annual bike ride in 2008, John Cash has raised more than $60,000.

To donate to the Cancer Survivorship Fund, visit RegionalFoundation.com. This year's ride will be Saturday, April 21 and start at 8 a.m. at Caro-Mi Dining Room in Tryon. For information, please call 828-859-6356.
