I am just past a year since my double mastectomy and coming upon my final surgery in April. I'm feeling good, still have a great team between Mass General, the Clark Cancer Center in Falmouth and Martha's Vineyard Hospital.
I am still in awe of the support and love that my family, friends, and this community have shown throughout the journey. One of the organizations that is doing great work for cancer patients and cancer survivors is the Cape Wellness Collabrative and I am so excited to be riding the Second Summer Cycle to fundraise for them!
I know first hand the difference that this organization makes and I am so glad to be healthy and be able to participate in this ride and to be able to fundraise for an organization that helps so many who are battling cancer across the Cap & Islands. Any amount you can give helps.
Thank you!

Cape Cod's Second Summer Cycle
A Charity Ride Benefitting 19 Cape Cod Non-Profit Organizations
The Second Summer Cycle is the perfect event for riders of all levels, offering a picturesque journey through 11 historic Cape Cod towns and a strong commitment to rider safety. Three distances are being offered, 33, 69, and 100 miles with the final stop being a celebration at Motta Field in beautiful Provincetown. Dance to the music of Sarah Swain and the Oh Boys, use your $30 worth of vouchers provided as part of your registration to purchase food from 4 different food trucks, to include cold beverages provided by Barnstable Brewing Company, with Second Summer Cycle cans as memorabilia!
Nineteen Cape Cod non-profit organizations will benefit from the monies generated by the riders, each of whom is asked to raise at least $250 for their non-profit of choice, or to be disseminated across all 19 charities, in addition to the registration fee.
Ample hydration and nutrition stops will be strategically positioned along the course, along with medical and physical therapy stations equipped with tents and tables to ensure participants' comfort and well-being.

Cape Wellness Collaborative is participating in the Second Summer Cycle to raise funds for the community of people who use our services.
The Cape Wellness Collaborative (CWC) provides integrative therapies and care, nourishing meals, yoga, support groups and more for people facing cancer in our community.
Integrative care includes therapies such as massage, acupuncture, reiki, yoga, and myofascial release, etc. These treatments significantly relieve the symptoms and side effects of navigating cancer treatment and recovery. Our goal is to give our clients more tools for fighting cancer and feeling better while doing so.
CWC partners with skilled local practitioners in order to provide these therapies, and we cover the cost. We currently serve about 780 people each year, and have provided over 7,000 handcrafted nutritious meals.
