Family & Friends,

We are using two wheels and collective effort to make Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and West Michigan the nationwide leader in creating healthier, more vibrant communities. MSU Gran Fondo is the college’s mission in action – a big bike ride that inspires passion-fueled fundraising and breakthrough moments on the road and in the fight against skin cancer.

A group of us from Team RWB will come together Saturday, June 22, 2019 to ride and provide hope for the nearly 70,000 people in the U.S. expected to be diagnosed with melanomas of the skin this year. Our collaborative fundraising efforts will support scientists exploring new therapies aimed at increasing long term survival for skin cancer patients, and ultimately, better quality of life ahead. And here's where we need your help. We've set big fundraising goals because that is what makes this a big ride.  And we hope you'll play a big part too.  With 100% of every dollar donated going directly to skin cancer awareness, prevention and research at MSU, we can make a direct impact.

Please donate and help us reach our team goal of $1,500. Together, we can make a difference!!

Thank you!

Mike Vander Ploeg
