Team WMMR Honored by the American Cancer Society

Team WMMR 2017

Our very own Markus in in the Darkus leads Team WMMR in the annual ACS Bike-a-Thon each year, and together they've raised an incredible amount of money for this worthy cause.

The annual bike ride raises funds for the American Cancer Society, whose mission is to "improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer." The ride begins at the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia and ends at the Jersey Shore, with multiple starting points along the way for riders of all skill levels.

This year, Markus and the team raised over $130,000! They traveled to Houston for the ACS Top Performers Conference, where they were recognized for this incredible achievement.

Congratulations to Team WMMR. We thank them for making a difference in the lives of so many! Keep an eye on our event calendar for details on the 2023 Bike-a-Thon and how you can participate.

Listen to Markus and all of our weekend warriors on Saturdays and Sundays - we are always live and local, broadcasting here in Philly, and would love to hear from you.

Team WMMR over the years:

From roughly 10:30am to somewhere around 3 (we call it Pierre Standard Time) weekdays Philadelphia rocks with (and loves) Pierre Robert on WMMR. Pierre Robert began his illustrious career at the pioneering progressive rock station KSAN, in his hometown San Francisco, but it’s through his uninterrupted 42-year tenure at Philadelphia‘s legendary WMMR that he’s made his mark. One of the city’s most recognizable celebrities will write about being at the center of its live music scene and greeting his legions of fans as if personal friends in the smallest clubs and largest stadiums.
