Nearly three hundred people riding to combat lung cancer Saturday afternoon at Ryan's Ride.
They braved the hot temps to help raise money for Richland County Deputy Mark Ryan who's battling stage four lung cancer.
Sheriff Leon Lott invited folks from across the Midlands to take part.
Ryan is the single father of three daughters.
Organizers say the event raised a total of $10,315.
The money will help with Ryan's mounting medical bills.
"I think without today's event it would make or break him. It's vital to him getting his medical bills paid and its just great to see this event happen for him in his honor," says Master Deputy James Stone.
Participants signed up at Rays Place in Ballentine and than started to ride around Lake Murray.
The second benefit ride will take place July 23, 2011. For more information about the event call 803-309-8888.
