On June 17th, 2023, I will be pedaling my way through the pioneer valley to raise money for DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE with Bikes Fight Cancer. These life saving funds will relieve the burden of disease now and for the future through our research, clinical care, education, outreach and advocacy. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's ultimate goal is the eradication of cancer, and related diseases and the fear that they engender.
This is just one of 50 rides in 50 states - my personal goal to bring funding and awareness for research and support to create a future free of cancer. You can follow my progress on JonseyCyclesForCancer.wordpress.com. And please be sure to join in the fight against cancer by supporting my ride.
LOVE BIKES. HATE CANCER.
