At Vutech & Ruff | Cutler Real Estate, our team is more than just real estate experts. We’re a family, deeply rooted in our Columbus community, and dedicated to making a difference. We’re especially proud to highlight two of our extraordinary team members, Marilyn Vutech and Kate Giller, who are once again participating in Pelotonia—a cause close to our hearts.

Marilyn Vutech 

Marilyn Vutech is no stranger to Pelotonia. In her 13th year of participating, Marilyn’s passion and dedication continue to inspire us all. This year, she will ride 50 miles to honor the countless individuals who have faced the challenges of cancer.  

“I ride for my mom, son-in-law, riding buddy, Mary, my aunts and for all those who’ve had cancer and are in remission, living with cancer or are now cancer free. I ride for those who’ve lost that fight- there are, very sadly, too many to name.” 
 
Having raised over $22,000 since her first race, Marilyn’s commitment has played a crucial role in the fight against cancer, greatly contributing to ongoing research and support for those affected.

Kate Giller 

Kate Giller’s journey with Pelotonia began in 2009, and this year marks her 16th consecutive year of riding 100 miles or more. Kate’s motivation has evolved from the athletic challenge to a deep dedication to the cause, citing that cancer has touched nearly all of her family or friend groups. 

“I started this journey in 2009 for the athletic event, and stayed committed because I was motivated by the cause. We all are impacted by cancer!” 
 
The ride itself has generated over $283 million since its inception, making a significant impact in the battle against cancer. To date, Kate has personally raised over $75,000 for cancer research. This year, she hopes to add an additional $10,000 to that total. Like Marilyn, 100% of the funds raised by Kate’s ride will be donated to cancer research, directly contributing to the fight against this disease. 
 
“Together, let’s CRUSH CANCER and change the outcome when someone you love is diagnosed!” says Kate.
