The 7th Annual Hopkins4K for Cancer Send-off is this Sunday, May 25. A half-hour public send-off ceremony begins at 7:30 a.m. at the Inner Harbor. Representatives from the American Cancer Society and WellPoint Inc., a health care plan that is also major sponsor of the ride, will be speaking, along with Dr. Jean G. Ford, the director of community programs and community-based research at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins.
At 8:30 a.m., the students will ceremoniously dip their bikes' back tires in the water before embarking on their 4,000-mile coast-to-coast trip. The journey will end on July 26 at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Upon their arrival on the West Coast, the students will dip their bikes' front tires in the water.
