This weekend, Nate (Jason's brother), along with friends Matt and Tom, completed the PanOhio Hope Ride, cycling approximately 328 miles from Cleveland to Cincinnati.
They rode in honor of the family and friends they've lost and in support of those who are currently fighting cancer.
For every mile of the journey, Nate carried some of Jason's ashes with him. One day, he proudly wore a Jason Penix Family Foundation jersey, helping spread awareness for pancreatic cancer and our mission of early detection and support.
As they traveled across Ohio, they also left our signature awareness ducks at:
• John Carroll University
• The College of Wooster
• Otterbein University
• Wright State University
• Larkin Airfield
We are incredibly proud of their dedication, strength, and commitment to honoring Jason's memory while bringing awareness to a disease that impacts far too many families. Thank you, Nate, Matt, and Tom, for carrying our mission across Ohio—one mile at a time.
