Tour de Pier 2016

Our guest this morning is Heath Gregory, Co-Founder of the Tour de Pier.

Heath has been a long-time cycling enthusiast who has combined his love of the sport with his passion of finding a cure for cancer.

Starting in 2011 – in a little over two years – his family lost four members to cancer. Coincidentally, his friend Jon Hirshberg who had lost his father to pancreatic cancer approached him about the idea of putting together an outdoor spin event at the Manhattan Beach Pier. Gregory was “all-in”. To date, the fundraising event has raised nearly $2 million for worthy cancer charities.

Gregory is also co-founder of the Uncle Kory Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of collaborative brain cancer research. The Uncle Kory Foundation is named after his brother-in-law, Kory Lewis Hunter, who passed away at age 42 to an aggressive form of brain cancer, Glioblastoma. The Uncle Kory Foundation is a beneficiary of the Tour de Pier.

Gregory is a resident of Manhattan Beach and President and CEO of Baron Equities, a privately-held investment company. He received his MBA from USC.

The Tour de Pier is one of the most popular fundraising events in the South Bay. It will take place on Sunday, May 15 at the Manhattan Beach Pier.
