This November, the Quick Chek Riding Team will travel to Tucson, Ariz., to participate in the 109-mile bike ride in an effort to help find a cure for the childhood disease.
The formation of the Quick Chek Riding Team follows Quick Chek senior vice president Mike Murphy's raising of [image-nocss] a record-setting $15,000 in donations by a single individual for the JDRF as he successfully completed pedaling 100 miles in the organization's Ride for the Cure event held in Whitefish, Mont., last year.
Devoted to providing convenient shopping blended with an expansive range of fresh products and services, Quick Chek is a market leader in food service with an exceptional fresh coffee and fresh food program. Operating 125 retail locations in New Jersey and Southern New York, Quick Chek's locations include 12 pharmacy stores and 28 locations with fuel.
