We all have or know someone who as been affected by Cancer, each year I ride on behalf of my mother who has been fighting cancer for the past 30 years. The Great Cycle Challenge started in 2015, and after just 5 years, the event has grown to become one of the biggest cycling events in the United States. People of all ages, abilities and from every state across the country set themselves a personal riding goal and challenge themselves to pedal throughout June to fight kids’ cancer. In 5 years, our community of riders from all 50 states have ridden a total of 18,831,310 miles, and together we’ve raised $24,615,507 in support of research to develop better treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Why? Because over 15,700 American children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and sadly, 38 children die every week.
We’re riding to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve, and we believe that any one individual can make their personal impact to fight cancer and save little lives…
So we’re calling on all Americans to get on their bikes this June and join our movement to kick cancer’s butt!
Great Cycle Challenge USA is a national Children’s Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) fundraising initiative held throughout June.
