Maimonides kicks-off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Ride 2 Live, Cars for Cancer Show
The Maimonides Breast Center, in partnership with Bikers of Brooklyn, kicked-off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the tenth Annual Ride 2 Live Motorcycle Tour to raise awareness, pay tribute to lost loved ones, celebrate survivors and raise funds to support the research and clinical services provided by Maimonides Cancer Center.
Despite less than perfect weather, more than 100 bikers from all over the region participated in the scenic tour through the streets of Brooklyn, led by the hospital’s own Breast Cancer Program Director Dr. Patrick Borgen. The tour concluded at Gargiulo’s Restaurant, where participants and supporters enjoyed a lively after-party that included the Gilbert Rivera Foundation Cars for Cancer Show in Gargiulo’s parking lot.
“What a great testament to the overwhelming support of the entire borough of Brooklyn,” said Dr. Borgen, who is also chair of Surgery at Maimonides. “It’s so gratifying, as a physician and healer, to see friends and colleagues year after year turn out for these twin events.”
