THOMAS LENNOX Special guest and mission speaker In 2008, Tom founded Pelotonia and served as its chief executive officer for six years. He led the organization from inception to its position as the largest rider-based organization of its kind in the country. Tom recently founded FLOW, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for research at NCI-designated cancer centers. He is confident the socially driven branded model that saw such strong results for Pelotonia has extensive potential for the nonprofit when rolled out nationwide. Tom is a colon cancer survivor.
