Thousands of Floridians jumped on their bicycles Saturday as they participated in the annual Dolphins Cancer Challenge. The event celebrated its 12th anniversary this year. The DCC is a huge tri-county charity-cycling event featuring several different bike routes ranging from a 15-mile ride to the 100-mile trek, with all cyclists crossing the finish line at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. It’s already raised more than $45 million, with more than $7 million on Saturday. “It was very emotionally honestly there were a lot of things that reminded me of him,” said Michelle Beaton who woke up early Saturday morning to ride her bike at the event. “20 years ago our father was diagnosed with brain cancer he had a tumor and he survived,” said Beaton. Later, however, the cancer came back and he’s become the reason for Beaton to keep pushing for a cure. “Coincidentally, our sister because of my dad’s sickness, she works with UM,” said Nivardo Beaton, Michelle’s brother.
