Since its inception in 2008, Pelotonia has raised over $309 million for cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. LC is proud to stand alongside this transformative movement—a partnership that began in 2009 with the first ride and has grown stronger each year.
To date, Team LC has raised more than $550,000 in support of Pelotonia’s mission. This milestone is more than just a financial achievement—it’s a reflection of the company’s collective commitment to a cause that changes lives.
Building on this foundation, LC is deepening its commitment in 2025. The company is opening participation beyond its team members to the broader LC community, welcoming all residents to join Team LC in the Pelotonia ride.
“This expansion reflects our core belief that when we move together, we move the needle on what’s possible,” said Michael DeAscentis Jr., Founder and CEO. “Pelotonia’s bold mission to end cancer has inspired us from the start. At LC, we believe in doing big things for the right reasons—we don’t stand by when we can stand up. That shared mindset made this partnership a natural fit. Together, we’re not just supporting a cause—we’re helping change lives and strengthen communities.”
Pelotonia’s mission is singular: to end cancer. And it’s working.
More families than ever before are hearing life-changing words from their doctors—“cancer-free.” Loved ones who before may not have had that opportunity are now walking out of The James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute with hope and a future ahead of them.
“That’s why we continue to ride,” DeAscentis added. “Because it’s not just working—it’s rewriting the future for tomorrow’s survivors. Every mile we ride, every dollar we raise, brings us one step closer to a world where no family ever hears, ‘There’s nothing more we can do.’”
As Team LC prepares for another impactful ride this summer, the company invites residents, team members, families, and friends to join the movement—as riders, challengers, or volunteers—because every action fuels hope.
