Event History
As a Hematologist/Oncologist in the Lifespan Cancer Institute, I witness first-hand what our clinical trials can do for patients. I've seen the advances from recent clinical trials change how I can treat patients every single day.
I also ride my bike to work every day, rain or shine (maybe not in ice). Bringing Tour de Rhody to fruition for its first year in 2019 combined two of my passions; oncology research and bike riding. Nearly 100 riders joined to ride bikes, get a little lost, and raise over $18,000 for cancer research. Aside from some small hiccups, I felt the event a great success. 2020 faced new challenges. With careful covid precautions 200 riders showed up, wore masks and stayed separated to together raise over $50,000. Each year since has been bigger and better. Thank you all for you support.
Thank you, Dr. Thomas Ollila
