Last year, the Prouty raised a record-breaking $769,000. This year the goal
is $1 million. More than $3.3 million have been raised during the Prouty's 24
years, money that funds world-class research, state-of-the-art equipment,
critical education programs, and innovative clinical trials that benefit cancer
patients all over the world. It also funds patient services that support cancer
patients and their families.
There are many ways to participate in the Prouty: by cycling up the scenic
Connecticut River Valley (25, 50, or 100 miles), or walking on trails or
through Hanover (5, 10, 15, or 20K). This year, more than 2,000 people are
expected to participate. The event includes a complimentary
"Carbo-Loading" dinner catered by Lui Lui the evening of July 7 and a
Prouty day with great food, live music, prizes, children's activities, and
more.
