MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Roughly 4,000 cyclists pedaled for a cause Saturday in a ride raising money and awareness in the fight against cancer.
Scott Lagasite rode in this year’s Dolphins Cancer Challenge because he loves the sport and because he’s a survivor.
“To me this is a big deal,” he said. “Unfortunately, I found cancer two years ago in myself. But as an avid cyclist, I’m fortunate that I found it because of cycling. And I’m cured and I’m good, moving forward in life.”
Riders chose from one of five different routes, ranging from a 14-mile ride to the 100-mile trek, with all cyclists crossing the finish line inside Hard Rock Stadium.
