Syracuse, N.Y. -- A new charity that supports cancer survivors has scheduled a 100-mile fundraising bike ride July 14 that will start in Skaneateles and take cyclists around Otisco, Skaneateles and Owasco lakes.

The Ride for Alive! also will include shorter distances of 10, 25 and 50 miles.

The event is being sponsored by the Alive! Foundation, a charity recently established by Julia and Michael Wamp of Skaneateles. The foundations goal is to fund exercise, nutrition and other programs that can help cancer survivors maintain healthy lifestyles, said Julia Wamp, the foundations president who survived a bout with breast cancer seven years ago.

After being diagnosed with cancer and going through treatment there is no going back to life as normal, she said.

We want to help people say, I will do all I can with my life to prevent a recurrence by living well, Wamp said. Thats the only thing you can control.

Wamp has always been active. Shes run marathons and started cycling five years ago in triathlons.

She emphasized that the event is a non-competitive ride, not a race, and it offers different distances for riders of all abilities.

Gazella Performance & Wellness Studio in Skaneateles is offering a 12-week training program for people interested in participating in either the 100-mile century ride or 50-mile ride. Gazella will hold an information session about the training program 4 p.m. Saturday at its studio at 3986 Jordan Road in Skaneateles. Another information session will be held 7:30 p.m. April 16 at Johnny Angels, 22 Jordan St., Skaneateles.

Most people cant pick up their bike and ride 100 miles the next day, said Reem Jishi, co-owner of Gazella and a cyclist who has raced professionally. You definitely need to put some training time in before you show up the day of the event.

Jishi said the course has some challenging hills. During the training program, cyclists will ride every section of the course in increments so there wont be any surprises on the day of the event, she said.
