Dempsey Challenge 2020 - Ride
Fondo
EVENT DESCRIPTION
The Dempsey Challenge, presented by Amgen Oncology, is an annual run, walk, and cycle experience and is the primary fundraiser for the Dempsey Center. It is a weekend that their community eagerly anticipates and is a time of celebration and remembrance.
The Dempsey Challenge is the primary fundraising event for the Dempsey Center with all funds raised by participants going directly towards support services for individuals and families impacted by cancer. The event weekend is historically an IRL event but with the health and well-being of their community in mind during a global pandemic, the run, walk, and cycle events of the Dempsey Challenge will be taking place virtually for 2020 on Zwift.
Zwift will provide the options for people to run, walk and cycle. Simply choose your own challenge.
If 25,000 Zwifters join an event across the weekend, or if $25k is raised, Zwift will unlock an additional $25,000 donation to the Dempsey Foundation to help them reach their goal of $1.5million.
A suggested donation of $20 is suggested. To donate, follow this link - https://zwift.com/dempseychallengeOpens a new window
