1 5000 MILES 57 RIDERS 2 EPIC JOURNEYS GO THE DISTANCE AND

2 Miles for Memories This summer, employees of Bristol-Myers Squibb embark on not one, but two epic journeys testing the limits of their endurance as they cycle across America. The funds they raise will help fulfi ll Stand Up To Cancer s mission accelerating cancer research and providing innovative treatments to patients faster. For our riders, this cause is personal. They re going the distance to improve and extend the lives of those diagnosed with cancer. Thanks to their dedication and the collective fundraising efforts of BMS, our employees, and others touched by this cause, we can all help patients to make more memories with the people they love.

3 Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer The quest begins May 27th. The Coast 2 Coast 4 Cancer ride involves 53 BMS Oncology sales representatives coming together as novice cyclists riding from east to west. They ve committed themselves to extensive training so that they can give back to cancer patients. Riders will participate on one of 5 relay teams. Each relay team will ride a 400 mile stage. Ultimately, this 5 stage epic trek will take Coast 2 Coast riders from Stamford, Connecticut to Oceanside, California. Before and during the ride, they ll stay focused on raising funds and awareness in support of Stand Up To Cancer. Race Across America As they conclude their journey, the C2C4C team will hand the baton to 4 elite amateur cyclists from the BMS home office. This team will then begin the Race Across America one of 30 teams competing in what is considered the world s toughest bicycle race a non-stop, 3,000 mile endurance race from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland.

6 All of us at Stand Up To Cancer are deeply grateful not only to all the Bristol-Myers Squibb employees who have devoted their time and -- in the case of the riders -- intense energy to these two events and spreading the word about the SU2C movement, but also for the company s incredible generosity in becoming a major Stand Up To Cancer donor. This contribution will enable SU2C to continue accelerating collaborative research that has already saved lives. We are incredibly impressed by and profoundly grateful to the Bristol-Myers Squibb employees who are cycling this summer. Their commitment to the Stand Up To Cancer movement and our dream of making every person diagnosed with cancer a survivor is breathtaking.
