Tour proceeds will benefit the Babcook Family Research Fund, which raises money and awareness for pancreatic cancer research at the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center.
Dave Babcook was a cyclist and research associate at the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center who raced competitively before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 1998.
He underwent treatment at UNMC but lost his battle with the disease in 2000. His family established the Babcook Family Research Fund in his memory. The fund is managed by the University of Nebraska Foundation.
