Miami Football to Take Part in the Dolphins Cancer Challenge
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Five University of Miami football players and first-year head coach Mark Richt will participate in the 2016 Dolphins Cancer Challenge on Saturday at Sun Life Stadium.
Richt will open the festivities, beginning at 6:25 a.m., as he will serve as the starter for the Hurricane 100-mile bike ride.
Later that afternoon at 12:30 p.m., Hurricanes’ Stacy Coley, Corn Elder, Brad Kaaya, David Njoku and Chad Thomas will participate in the event.
The Dolphins Cancer Challenge (DCC) was founded in 2010 by the Miami Dolphins organization as the signature initiative of the Foundation’s health pillar.
The DCC’s mission is to improve people’s lives through financial support for innovative cancer research at South Florida’s only academic-based cancer center — Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami.
