Did you know May is Clinical Trials Awareness Month and today is Clinical Trials Day, commemorating the first randomized clinical trial conducted on May 20, 1747.
This national observance highlights the important role clinical trials play in advancing medicine and improving patient care. It also honors the patients, families, and researchers who make that progress possible.
At UI Health Care, clinical trials and research studies are helping advance care for sarcoma patients. Because sarcoma is a rare cancer that receives only 1–2% of overall cancer research funding, philanthropic support is essential to advancing research.
That’s why Courage Ride’s support matters. To date, proceeds from the ride have helped seed numerous sarcoma-related research grants right here in eastern Iowa.
Many of those grants have grown into larger-scale studies, helping support the tumor bank and create new partnerships focused on improving outcomes for patients and families affected by sarcoma.

Meet Caidence Macke, our 2026 Courage Ride Patient Honoree!
2026 Patient Honoree: Caidence Macke — Courage Ride 2026 Courage Ride Patient Honoree Caidence Macke shares her journey through rhabdomyosarcoma treatment, recovery, and returning to the sports she loves.
May is National Cancer Research Month, and for the Courage Ride community, it’s a reminder of why this ride exists in the first place. 🎗️
Sarcoma is a rare cancer, which means it often receives far less research funding and attention than more common cancers. That’s why events like Courage Ride matter.
Since 2005, Courage Ride has raised more than $1 million for sarcoma cancer research at the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, supporting researchers seeking better treatments and outcomes for patients and families facing this disease.
Thank you to every rider, donor, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter who continues to make Courage Ride possible. 💙💛
