Pelotonia has changed Joe Apgar's life. “I'll never forget how I felt in the moment someone told me I had cancer,” the CEO of Pelotonia said in this episode. “You feel completely lost and by yourself and you don't have answers to the questions running around through your head.” Apgar was diagnosed with testicular cancer while a student at Penn State. Pelotonia is the fundraising cycling event that has raised more than $285 million for cancer research at the James. Apgar first rode in 2011, soon after he moved to Columbus to work for Rockbridge Capital, a private equity firm that sponsors a Pelotonia team Apgar helped create. “I remember standing at my first opening ceremony [of Pelotonia] and how uplifted and excited and supported I felt … that's when I could flip the switch on it and feel empowered by my own story and experience,” Apgar said of the start of his first ride and crossing the finish line. Apgar talked about his cancer journey, how he connected with a James physician for his follow-up cancer care, his Pelotonia experiences as a rider and leader, and the future of the event. Apgar also talked about the importance of the Pelotonia “community” and how it has helped connect members of the James team with riders, volunteers and donors. “I think [the Pelotonia founders] hoped that some of this sense of community would happen, but I don't think anyone could have dreamed it would happen at the scale it has,” he said.

However, the truth is that our industry boasts a diverse array of individuals with distinct backgrounds, strengths and connections to our missions.P2P fundraising undeniably thrives on community. The most successful programs in this field prioritize relationship-building and meaningful connections, meaning it's critical for P2P professionals to bring their authentic selves, unique skill sets and personal experiences to the forefront.The most effective P2P leaders are those who recognize the value of these diverse experiences and harness the individual strengths of each team member to contribute to the larger collective. In doing so, they create a harmonious and empowered environment that drives the industry - and our missions - forward.In this episode, P2PPF's Marcie Maxwell sits down with Joe Apgar, President of Pelotonia, one of the nation's largest cycling events, which benefits The Ohio State University – The James Cancer Hospital.

Pelotonia is an emotional rollercoaster filled with special moments, connections, community and lots of memories. In this new episode, David Cohn, MD, joins Steve as co-host. Dave is the interim chief executive director of the James, has ridden in every Pelotonia, and has a lot of memories. “It's truly an emotional experience and I'm not hesitant to say I've cried at every Pelotonia at some point,” he said. We'll also hear from five other James physicians who participate in Pelotonia. Tim Pawlik came to Ohio State and the James a few weeks before a Pelotonia ride, and “I was blown away … the number of people riding and the number of people supporting the ride and the number of people along the side of the road.” Eric Singer is brand new at the James, recruited from a cancer hospital in New Jersey. However, the urologist knew about Pelotonia from one of his patients, a New Jersey man who rode ever year in Pelotonia. Joel Mayerson, an orthopedic oncologist, said his favorite memories are riding with patients. “It's an amazing feeling,” he said. Samantha Jaglowski was treated for a brain tumor and has some related physical issues that prevent her from riding. Instead, over the years, she has been a volunteer and a Challenger, raising money for Pelotonia. Mary Dillhoff has a rather unique way to cover the Pelotonia course: she runs. As much as 72 miles.

Doug Ulman is the CEO of Pelotonia and a three time cancer survivor, and this conversation with him was all of the things. We talked about our shared fear of flying, we rapped to Dougie Fresh, and we even called and talked to Doug's mom. She's awesome, BTW!

His parents used to call him Honest Abe. As a really grounded and thoughtful young kid, Joe Apgar played sports, collected baseball cards, and looked up to his grandfather, a man whose steadfast virtuousness lives on in family legend – as told by Joe. He describes his childhood as idyllic and loving, all supported by a strong sense of community in his smalltown home. But, as we know well, trauma escapes no one. And how we let these experiences shape us is what matters most at the end of the day.   Joe tells of his sister's kidney cancer diagnosis at the young age of five, a memory that stays burnt into his brain to this day as he recalls a stark conversation on life and death with father. Surviving to become a nurse herself, this experience was the first of a few that lead Joe to where he is today, President of Pelotonia, one of the world's most recognizable and revered cancer charity brands. We also go deep on Joe's own bout with testicular cancer, and how overcoming the disease isn't exactly a prerequisite to fundraising for cancer research – but it sure does help his understanding and ability to communicate the dire perspective shared by so many patients around the world.

It's a ride for kids for a great cause and you still have time to get in on the fun!

Today's guest on the Gravity podcast gives us another fascinating look into the complex human mind and how it works. Kurt Malkoff was born in Youngstown, Ohio, to two restaurateur parents that he says gave him everything but limits. He has a BA, MA, and PhD from Ohio State University, is a clinical psychologist, and the founder of Matrix Psychological Services here in Columbus, one of the oldest, independently-owned psychological practices in the country.. We discuss how he went from being an uninspired student to a passionate special education teacher early in his life, a move that directly led to his long career as a practicing psychologist and successful entrepreneur.  He explains how understanding even the basics of psychology can help people build and manage teams, thoughtfully comments on the state of social unrest we've landed in as a culture, and emphasizes the importance of work-life balance, especially as one gets further into their career. Kurt's the kind of person, as he explains, to print a line of good-natured smacktalk on the back of his Pelotonia jersey. Communicating with such warmth and authenticity, he's a tangible source of real optimism – a quality I can't ignore in the interview and one I know you'll pick up on, too. What we cover: Kurt's loving childhood and restaurateur parents  Leaning into special education   Back to graduate school for psychology  Understanding human behavior  Melding psychology and entrepreneurship  Iterating yourself throughout life  Building efficient teams using psychological studies  Landing an ideal work-life balance Kurt's POV on the current social landscape To learn more about intentional living, and for the complete show notes, visit: http://brett-kaufman.com/ (brett-kaufman.com) Resources: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kurtmalkoff (Kurt Malkoff, PhD) https://matrixpsych.com/ (Matrix Psychological Services) Gravity is produced and published by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).

Adrenal cancer is rare, difficult to detect and is often diagnosed in the later stages when it has metastasized. “That's why it's so important to have centers of excellence so patients have access to providers who are experts in treating this disease,” says Barbra Miller, MD, co-director of the James Multidisciplinary Adrenal Clinic, a world leader in treating this type of cancer. The body's two adrenal glands sit above the kidneys. They are important organs as they produce several different hormones that regulate blood pressure and metabolism “and help other organs work successfully,” Miller said, adding that in most cases only one of the two adrenal glands is cancerous. For patients with metastatic adrenal cancer, the first treatment option is chemotherapy “so we can determine how it responds and how quickly it is growing and determine whether the resection (an adrenalectomy that removes the entire adrenal gland) is advantageous.” An adrenalectomy is a delicate procedure. “The tumor is very fragile and can grow through the capsule of the tumor into the surrounding organs and we don't want to spread those cells [during surgery],” Miller said. “Once the surgery is completed, we look at the pathology to determine if other treatment is warranted.” A person can function quite well with one adrenal gland, Miller said. Because adrenal cancer is so rare, about 200 cases a year, according to the American Cancer Society, it is hard to attract funding for research. “We are constantly searching for funding, and Pelotonia is key to our program's success in continuing to research this disease.”

On our seventh episode, we talk to Mike Perry, Shannon Peterson, and Tim Hamburger about Pelotonia! Pelotonia is the largest cancer fundraising bicycle event in the country based out of Columbus, Ohio where all proceeds go to cancer research!!! Mike, Shannon, and Tim talk about the reason why they have rode, fundraised, and supported this event every year since it started in 2009! It's honest, heartfelt, and an inspiring listen of their stories and the people who they ride because of!!! Thanks for joining us for this episode!!!

Registration has begun for the 14th Pelotonia, the amazing, fundraising cycling event that has raised $236 million for cancer research at The James. In this episode we talk with Pelotonia CEO Doug Ulman and President Joe Apgar. They describe the new routes, provide some fundraising tips, and give an overview of the new Victoria's Secret and Pelotonia collaboration to award $8.5 million over the next two years to female cancer scientists around the world working on the most-promising research to beat women's cancers, such as breast cancer and uterine cancer. Ulman also fills us in on his recent trip to the White House, where President Biden announced a renewed commitment to the Cancer Moonshot Project that was first announced during the final year of the Obama Administration. “The White House has a really aspirational goal, to reduce the number of cancer deaths by 50 percent in the next 25 years,” Ulman said. “That will save hundreds of thousands of lives and put us on the trajectory to ending this disease.” Some of the statewide initiatives for prevention, screening and genetic testing, funded by Pelotonia and implemented by The James, could serve as national models in the years to come, he added.

Pelatonia is a non-profit organization based in Columbus, OH and its flagship event is a 100 mile bike ride which raised $236 million in the first 13 years for cancer research at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Kelli has ridden for 7 years and her family's group has raised 101k over 13 years. Eric explains the 100% donation model, tells us why he's so passionate about his role and what it's like behind the scenes.  Participate and contribute at Pelotonia.org   Join the Greener Grass Family HERE.   Find us @grandrevecreative on Instagram, @grass_podcast on Twitter or email us kerry@grandrevecreative.com    

“Knowledge is power,” said Sally Hughes, who was treated for endometrial cancer at the OSUCCC – James and was a participant in the Ohio Prevention and Treatment of Endometrial Cancer (OPTEC), a statewide program funded by Pelotonia. In this episode, Hughes and David Cohn, MD, the chief medical officer of the James, discuss the ongoing impact of OPTEC. In the program, women diagnosed with endometrial cancer were screened to determine if they had Lynch Syndrome, an inherited genetic mutation that greatly increases the risk for colorectal and endometrial cancer. Family members of the women who tested positive for Lynch Syndrome were then screened. “This is called cascade testing and it saves lives,” Cohn said. While Hughes did not have Lynch Syndrome, which meant her children could not have it, she tested positive for a different genetic mutation that increases her risk of breast cancer. “Because of this and my family history [of cancer], I'm now in the High-Risk Breast Cancer Program,” she said. “I go in every six months for a mammogram or MRI.” Hughes also describes how she has become an advocate for increased funding for cancer research and reducing health disparities, and she is an active member of the James Ambassadors Society and a Pelotonia rider. “Cancer had a silver lining for me,” she said. “It gave me clarity about how I want to spend the next chapter of my life.”

Black women are more likely to die from breast cancer, according to statistics gathered by cancer epidemiologists. “Those are the statistics that started us on this path,” said Electra Paskett, PhD, co-leader of the OSUCCC – James Cancer Control Program and one of the country's leading cancer epidemiologists. The path led to the creation of the new OSUCCC – James Turning the Page on Breast Cancer in Ohio program. It is funded by Pelotonia, and is led by Paskett and Heather Hampel, MS, LGC, the OSUCCC – James associate director of human genetics. In this episode, Paskett and Hampel explain the causes of the problem, how Turning the Page on Breast Cancer in Ohio will address and reduce many of these issues, and how it will save the lives of Black women in urban centers throughout the state. Turning the Page on Breast Cancer in Ohio will partner with local healthcare centers and utilize a multi-level approach that includes risk assessment, appropriate screenings based on these risk factors, genetic screenings and counseling, and “prompt and appropriate treatment” for women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. The program also includes an educational component for healthcare providers to help them better serve their patients. “In the genetic screening component, we are looking for mutations such as the BRCA,” Hampel said of the hereditary breast cancer genetic mutation that leads to an increased. She added that studies have shown Black women are more likely to have the BRCA mutation, and the disparities in the number of Black women who receive genetic testing and counseling “are even more extensive than we thought.” The program – as well as the overall number of mammogram screenings - has been slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of this, the website, endbreastcancerohio.org, has become more important and allows women to assess their risk factors and learn where they can go for screenings. Patient navigators are available to help women overcome any hurdles they may encounter, such as financial, scheduling or transportation issues.

Ko Un (Clara) Park, MD, is leading a new, robotic-assisted, nipple-sparing mastectomy clinical trial that is funded by Pelotonia. In this episode, Park describes the advances in the surgical techniques of mastectomies and reconstructive surgery over the years, including the introduction of a traditional nipple-sparing technique that led to … This new, robotic-assisted surgery, that is less invasive and more precise. Small instruments and cameras are inserted through an incision to the side of the breast (rather than underneath as it is in the traditional, nipple-sparing surgery) and “I can see what the camera projects and my hands directly control the robotic arms,” Park said. She is able to remove the entire breast tissue in one piece, sparring the skin, nipple and areola. Because the incision is so small, there were some questions about whether it would be possible to remove the entire breast as a single piece, “but we have found we are able to remove the entire breast tissue through the incision, and then mark and orient it for the pathologist to analyze all the different sections” to determine if there are safe margins. Park said the clinical trial, while still in the early stages, has been very promising, and she's optimistic the results “will introduce a new technique into women's health and breast-cancer surgery and reach the stage where we are teaching other surgeons how to do this operation.”

Every rider's first Pelotonia experience is special, and so it was for Dr. Kristina Johnson, president of The Ohio State University, and a cancer survivor. “To think that all these people are riding because they have (had cancer), or a sister or a brother or a mother or father or a friend who's gone through cancer, and they know what they're doing that day is helping them and the next generation is pretty amazing,” she said. In this episode, Dr. Johnson talks about her own cancer journey; the emotions of riding in her first Pelotonia, as honorary captain of Team Buckeye; and the vital role of Pelotonia-funded research at the OSUCCC – James in creating a cancer-free world. “I recognized my own mortality at a pretty young age,” Dr. Johnson said of her Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis in 1979, adding that it felt as if “the walls were closing in.”

Raphael Pollock, MD, PhD, has a very personal connection to Pelotonia-funded research. The annual fundraising bike ride provided the initial funding for Acalabrutinib, "the drug that's keeping me alive," says the director of The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. In this episode, Pollock – who was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia - provides an overview of several of the major areas of research, recruitment and screening funded by what he calls “the sweat equity” of the thousands of Pelotonia riders, volunteers and donors. Pelotonia has raised more than $220 million, and every dollar funds research at the OSUCCC – James. It has funded scores of idea grants, more than 500 Pelotonia Fellowships, the recruitment of top docs from around the world, the Pelotonia Institute of Immuno-Oncology, and four statewide screening programs that have already saved a lot of lives. “Pelotonia has been remarkable in terms of its scope and magnitude and the means in which it brings together so many dedicated participants from the community and connects them to the research efforts at our cancer center,” Pollock said.

“We're really excited about 2021,” said Doug Ulman, President and CEO of Pelotonia, the annual bike ride that has raised $219 million for research at the James. There was no ride in 2020, due to COVID-19, but Pelotonia is back, on the road again in August, with routes and safety precautions in place. Ulman talks about the new routes, the Granville and Bexley “experiences,” the changes due to COVID-19, and the tremendous impact of Pelotonia-funded research. “The team has done a remarkable amount of work to think through how things might have to change in order to host a ride,” Ulman said of the 2021 ride. There will be nine, all-new routes. For the first time, some routes will include a ride through Bexley, and multiple routes will travel through Granville, where hundreds of people line the streets to cheer on riders, wave signs and rung cow bells. There are more one-day and two-day options, as well as some shorter routes. “The personal connections and the joy of the weekend,” are the glue that keeps Pelotonia rolling, Ulman said.

"Immunotherapy holds the key for curing cancer," says Zihai Li, the founding director of the Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology. In this episodes, Dr. Li provides an update on the important work of the institute, which has recruited 15 world-class cancer researchers in the past year, and describes two new genetic mutations that have been discovered — GARP and the hedgehog mutation — that hide cancer cells from the body's immune system. He also explains how immunotherapy drugs in development allow T cells and natural killer cells to detect and destroy cancer. "We're not there yet for every patient and every cancer, so we have a lot of work to do," Li says.

2020 got me like… tired. We don't think there's anyone who's managed to escape this year's weird  and uncomfortable gravitational pull without their life warping at least a little bit. So, today, we're going to talk all about challenges — those we opt into and those that are forced on us — and how we can take care of ourselves so that we can rise to meet the challenges that 2020 has delivered us.
