The Lobo Cancer Challenge needs a volunteer for the day of the event (Sept. 26, 2026) to help as a SAG driver (operates a support vehicle, providing aid to cyclists with mechanical issues, injuries, or fatigue. They act as a "broom wagon" to transport riders and bikes, ensuring safety by carrying supplies like water, tools, and first aid kits).
To be eligible, drivers must have a valid driver’s license and a UNM Defensive Driving certificate or be willing to take the course. For those who have never taken the National safety council/defensive driving class (NSC/DDC), you would be set up for the course through UNM.
If you are interested, please contact Joanne Baca de Holguin, jbacadeholguin@salud.unm.edu.
