The first Saturday in November, hundreds of riders jump on their bicycles and ride to help win the fight against cancer. The event is Lowvelo, a benefit ride for the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center. Chris Winn is the Director of Lowvelo who explained how the name of the event was created, and what the overall point of the event is. Lowvelo is not just one ride, but a series of four rides, each a different distance, including an 80-mile course. Riders collect pledges with 100% of the rider money going directly to fund cancer research at the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center.
