West Cancer Center announced it plans to hold it signature fundraising event – “Fight On: Cycle. Run. Walk.” – on Saturday, September 16, 2017, at Shelby Farms Park. Funds will support the University of Tennessee/West Institute for Cancer Research, the non-profit fundraising arm of West Cancer Center.

“What began as a small, community cycling event five years ago has grown into a vision that has surpassed all of our expectations,” said Brad Somer, MD, medical oncologist at West Cancer Center and one of the co-founders of the event.

With components ranging from cycling routes at three distances to a 5K run and a one-mile Tribute Walk, the September event provides a full suite of fitness activities for the entire family. In addition, it also introduces a new “combination” component, featuring the 18-mile cycling route and the 5K run.
