This ride is different for me. I spent seven years working in cancer research and observed first-hand the necessity of funding along with the opportunity for waste. Because of that perspective, I’m particular about the programs I support. Bikes Fight Cancer won me over. They use funds to directly support our neighbors when they need it most. Examples include:
- Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute at Cooley Dickinson Hospital – $70,000 to the Cancer Patient Care Fund. This fund covers living expenses like rent, mortgage, and food for people who need support during a dark period.
- Cancer Connection – $45,000 to expand integrative therapies and outreach across 64 Western Mass. towns.
- CHD’s Cancer House of Hope – $36,000 to support free programs and services for individuals and families facing cancer.
- Mass General Brigham Shuttle -- Free weekday shuttle that transports patients between Northampton and Boston.
I don’t need donations to ride a bike. I’m going to do that anyway. This ride is a way to advertise an opportunity to help people in our community during a difficult time. If you have $20 that could make a difference for someone struggling to navigate a cancer diagnosis, please consider donating to Bikes Fight Cancer.
