Giant Bicycle is proud and honored to once again sponsor the YSC Tour de Pink, a series of fundraising rides around the country to benefit the Young Survival Coalition. The YSC is the premier non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and education to young women affected by breast cancer.

This is the third year that Giant has been a sponsor and provided support for the events; this time, Giant’s involvement is a little more personal. Michelle Weiser, Giant’s Gear Marketing Manager, passed away in early July after battling breast cancer for more than 2 years. Michelle pedaled in two Tour de Pink rides after she was diagnosed in February 2008.

One of her co-workers here at Giant, Inside Sales Representative Eric Christianson, will “ghost ride” the West Coast Tour de Pink this year in honor of Michelle. We would love to have you join him and all the riders who will take off from Giant headquarters on October 29!
