This WICKED IN PINK RUN was developed by Bob Kaine Alves, owner of THROTTLE ROCKER MAGAZINE, to pay it forward to others battling cancer. During Bob's year- long battle with head and neck cancer in 2012, he received amazing treatment and came into daily contact with some of the most caring and compassionate staff at SR. CARITAS CANCER CENTER at Mercy Hospital. Bob just knew that when he was healthy again, he would have to find a way to repay them for all they did and just saying thank you wasn’t going to be enough. He created this event to show support for all types of cancer, but being that this is occurring in October, he chose pink for a color.

The mission is to raise money for the SR. CARITAS CANCER CENTER Patient Services Fund as well as show support for all those battling cancer, cancer survivors, as well as their caregivers, family and friends
