Thousands raise millions in Miami Dolphins Cancer Challenge

An estimated 5,000 cyclists, runners, walkers and supporters took part in the 9th annual Miami Dolphins Cancer Challenge at Hard Rock Stadium, Saturday, raising close to $4 million for cancer research, organizers said.

That brings the nine-year total to more than $30 million with every penny going to the University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, said event executive director Jennifer Jehn.

“This is our biggest one yet,” she said. “Cancer research saves lives, cancer research costs money, and we’re here to raise as much as we can.”

Among those cycling were Miami Dolphins owner Steven Ross and player-turned-broadcaster Nat Moore, each of whom completed a 14-mile ride at Hard Rock Stadium.
