Welcome to the PrimeRevenue VeloCity TEAM page. Chris Singerman and I have decided to do a 25 mile charity bicycle ride in this inaugural event benefiting Grady Hospital.
VeloCity is also the ATL's initiative to make itself a more bike-friendly city. I've ridden a bike in a lot of cities in the US. The ATL has a long way to go to become bike-friendly. But every advancement in biker safety counts.
If you ride, we hope you will join us May 5th. You don't have to ride 25 miles - there are shorter versions. Or you can ride 100 miles if you want!
Regardless, we hope you'll donate so we can reach our goal of $1000 donated to Grady Hospital. A bit about Grady is below.
Thanks - Tom & Chris

For over 125 years, Grady Hospital has been there when Atlanta needed it the most - saving and changing lives, training the next generation of doctors, and conducting cutting-edge research that impacts patient care throughout the world.
PrimeRevenue is riding in VeloCity because we want to ensure that Grady will continue to be there for family, friends, co-workers, and anyone who finds themselves in need of lifesaving services such as:
- The metro Atlanta region’s premier level 1 trauma center
- Georgia’s first Cancer Center of Excellence
- Nationally recognized stroke and cardiac centers
- A neonatal intensive care relied upon by more than 40 counties
- One of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive treatment centers for advanced HIV/AIDS
- The world’s first 24/7 sickle cell center
Grady will be there for you when you need it. We hope you will join us and be there for Grady by contributing to our ride on May 5, 2018!
