11th annual Wheeling for Healing Ride, Walk, and Run
Break out your bicycle and lace up your sneakers to support cancer care and services at Baystate Franklin Medical Center .
Riders can choose from a 10-mile route through Greenfield meadows, a moderate 25-mile ride through Bernardston, Gill, Turners Falls, and the Greenfield bike trials, or a challenging 50-mile route that goes through the hills of Warwick and Wendell.
Runners and walkers will enjoy a course that includes the Greenfield Community College campus, as well as safe, low-traffic neighboring streets.
Wheeling for Healing began in 2008 to raise funds to support Baystate Franklin Medical Center and to ensure the best care possible was available in the region. Thanks to the generous fundraising throughout the community, Wheeling for Healing has helped to purchase state-of-the-art equipment such as new infusion chairs and exam tables to enhance patient comfort, support improvements for a better healing environment, fund incredible programs such as art therapy and yoga to encourage wholesome healing for patients and survivors, and much more.
