This past Saturday, some 2,000 bike riders and walkers, alongside 220 volunteers, braved the rain and raised over $700,000 for cancer research at the 24th annual Prouty Fitness Bike Ride and Fitness Walk. "The Prouty" is the signature fund-raising event of the Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center, a philanthropic group that raises money, sponsors community events and provides patient services in an effort to find a cure for cancer. The walk is dedicated in honor of Audrey Prouty, a former patient who died from cancer over two decades ago. "Her nurses admired her courage and the way she approached the disease," Michelle Manning, program coordinator for the Friends said in an interview with The Dartmouth. The benefit dates back to 1981, when four nurses biked 100 miles and raised $4,000 for cancer research. "The event has grown quite a bit since then," Manning said. While the majority of participants hail from New Hampshire and Vermont, some groups came to the event from as far as New York City and Chicago.
