Cruise for the Cure

Lauren Hill was an energetic young woman attending Mount Saint Joseph College. It had been her dream to play college basketball and she was so close. Only one thing stood in her way: pediatric brain cancer. Lauren's battle against this disease and her being able to not only play in a college basketball game but to score made national headlines. Sadly Lauren lost her battle with cancer but she sparked an awareness of this malady that continues today.

Recently the Cruise for the Cure was held at historic Coney Island will all proceeds benefiting The Cure Starts Now Foundation, an organization Lauren backed which raises funding to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer.

Hosted by Cincy Custom Street Machines well over 300 cars rolled onto the grass at Coney. Hundreds more people showed up just to admire the rides and to support Lauren Hill one more time. Among the cars on display was a 1932 Ford, a customized pick-up, a Ford Galaxy convertible, an early Chevy Bel Air, a Mustang, a Nova SS, a Continental, an Oldsmobile, and a first generation Thunderbird.
