Tour de Pier
The annual cancer charity fundraiser has become so popular in its third year that as of press time, it had already raised most of its goal of $750,000 well ahead of its May 17 event date and only VIP bikes were available.
For the uninitiated, participants gather donations and sign up to ride spin cycles at the Manhattan Beach Pier.
The event was conceived of by Jon Hirshberg, who lost his father Ron to cancer in 1997 and started the LA Cancer Challenge, with his friend Heath Gregory.
This year’s beneficiaries include the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, started in memory of Ron Hirshberg; the Cancer Support Community – Redondo Beach and the Uncle Kory Foundation. Visit tourdepier.com for more info and to register. ER
