Inside Clemson

Gather April 9 and 10 to join the movement to eradicate cancer

Clemson University has partnered with MUSC and its Hollings Cancer Center to raise $1.5 million toward life-saving cancer research through its fall LOWVELO campaign. LOWVELO is an outdoor bike ride of varying distances around the Lowcountry planned for fall 2019 that raises money for life-saving cancer research.

LOWVELO’s objective is to become the leading grassroots organization funding cancer research in the state of South Carolina. One hundred percent of every rider-raised dollar will go directly to life-saving cancer research at the Hollings Cancer Center at MUSC.

Are you interested in participating in the bike ride?

Main campus gatherings planned for April 9 and 10 will inform faculty, staff and students about how to participate in the bike ride. Learn more during one of the LOWVELO rallies:

  • April 9, 2019, Rallies in Watt Center lobby from 9 to 10 a.m. and from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
