St. Paddy O'Pedal Ride In Milton To Conquer Childhood Cancer

MILTON, GA -- Join the Olde Blind Dog Cycling Club for its third annual St. Paddy O’ Pedal Charity Bike Ride benefiting the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. This event is a fun opportunity for cycling enthusiasts, families, friends and the community to make a difference, CHOA said. The race begins at Milton City Hall, 2006 Heritage Walk.

John and Shawn Dickson lost their precious and vibrant daughter Kiersten to lung cancer. Treated by the compassionate doctors and staff at the Aflac Cancer Center, Kiersten's parents teamed up with the Olde Blind Dog Cycling Club, to create this event. Funds raised benefit research to help the fight against childhood cancer.

Join in helping the Aflac Cancer Center and the 7,500 kids they see each year by being a part of St. Paddy O' Pedal. Your tax-deductible contribution, large or small, has an impact at every level.
