They are on the road again. The 3rd Annual Geneva Cancer Run will take place on Saturday, June 14 in Geneva. Each rider pays $10 to participate.

Deeanne Randall lost her grandparents and many best friends to cancer over the years, so she came up with the idea of having a Geneva Motorcycle Run. 

In the first year, 80 motorcycle riders participated, and this past year about 120 riders came out. The Cancer Run organizers are hoping to reach 200 riders this year.
