We're moving! ?????? It’s the beginning of a new era as Pelotonia HQ moves to a new home. The new office is located in the Energy Advancement and Innovation Center (EAIC) within the Carmenton district of The Ohio State University campus and next to the Pelotonia Research Center! With this move, Pelotonia HQ will be much closer to where the groundbreaking research funded by the incredible Pelotonia community is happening. Starting tomorrow (October 28), Pelotonia staff will be working remotely with a move-in date by mid-November. There is still some work to be done as we get settled into the new space at the EAIC, but we are excited to welcome the community in to see the new Pelotonia HQ in the new year! #EndingCancer

Kathy Quickert is a 10-year Rider, High Roller, and Peloton Captain for Team Lane Bryant, which she has been part of since 2015. Kathy has been a High Roller for nine years, raising $82,760 in all-time funds for Pelotonia. Kathy has taken her dedication to the mission of Ending Cancer beyond her annual participation as a Rider to leave a lasting legacy in honor of the family members she rides for. Kathy has established a bequest to benefit Pelotonia - establishing a bequest allows you to designate Pelotonia as a beneficiary in your will or trust. It’s a simple and flexible option that allows you to specify a percentage or specific amount to be donated to the mission or an organization you care deeply about. By leaving Pelotonia in her estate plans, Kathy is now a part of the Pelotonia Legacy Society, a group of forward-thinking supporters who share a vision to provide for future generations of cancer patients and their families.
