CENTRAL NEW YORK -- Motorcyclists geared up and rode out to find a cure for breast cancer Saturday. The sixth annual Ride for Research started at the Quaker Steak and Lube in Syracuse and continued for 40 miles throughout Central New York.
The event was hosted by the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Foundation. All money raised stays local, going to University Hospital for research.
Six hundred riders were expected to get on their bikes for the cause.
"It is so inspiring when you see all those people and that ride leaves it just touches you. It's amazing," said Donna Boyd, Carol M. Baldwin Foundation.
So far, the Carol M. Baldwin Foundation has raised over $1 million for breast cancer research.
