"I want to do what I do best, and that is to solicit funds for a cause I believe in" said Jody Scheiman. Ever since her father was cured of what was thought to be terminal leukemia 5 years ago by the miracle drug Gleevec and the talented doctors at OSU James cancer center, Jody Scheiman has been a tireless advocate of OSU, The James and cancer research. "When the Pelotonia event came along and offered my husband a chance to do what he loves, cycle, and me, fund-raise...I was overjoyed!" echoed Jody Scheiman. Pelotonia was established with the objective to fund life-saving cancer research. Pelotonia is a three-day experience that includes a weekend of cycling, entertainment and volunteerism. Thanks to its generous sponsors, Pelotonia is able to direct 100 percent of every dollar raised to cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
